Talking about contributing to the community... Hilarious ๐
Aside from spamming the forums with your offers and running the biggest scam known to LET (to date) called AlphaRacks - what else have you contributed to the community?
Or are you about to throw a wall of text saying how grateful you are and all that shit, without answering the question being asked?
Ave Caesar! Morituri te salutant!
There is an easy workaround. Don't open offer threads.
The OP is such an annoying and self-focussed mothertrucker, seriously...
I sincerely appreciate you asking that. Also, I'll respect your request. So here it is, simple and easy for you.
We spend thousands per month on banner advertisements here on LEB/LET - you may not realize it, but it's what helps keep this community alive - there are expenses to running a community of this size and if there's anything we can do to help keep this community alive, we will.
Additional contributions include many tutorials, you can find them here (there are many, you'll be happy to see them) https://lowendbox.com/category/tutorials/
Along with giveaways sponsored by RackNerd that are promoted by the admins, giveaways that we promote. To name a few, there you go
How do you contribute? Please exclude your negativity and generic comments.
Usually things in life are very nuanced and snide gifs don't explain that, but it seems like the counting money gif is all you need to explain this Racknerd spam.
? OK, understood!
And you totally care about this community, in fact, you spend all that money for the community, and not to actually increase your sales through advertising. You never think about profits you altruistic troll.
And these are done by you?! Oh wait, it's not you, it's a moderator.
You were not the first nor the last in giveaways. Your giveaways are done to increase profits and defeat the posting rules by creating exposure. Thank you.
Stop looking like some altruistic person. Be honest and say you care about your business and that's it. You do not wash your sins by posing as a saint.
We care for both the community and our business. Indeed.
I can agree that while our contributions don't guarantee results, we've successfully grown our business as a result. Never once denied that.
Either way, appreciate your input.

let drama begin
This is second page. Drama has already begun. You should really stop skipping episodes.
i do , just support dustinc to calm down
Thank you, lets hear it.
Wait, so YOU keep the community alive? Forgive me, but I call that BS. The ads on here are the cheapest ads that I have seen in a while (seriously, $100/m for a banner?!).
You are not spending money on the community, you are spending money on your ads. Which, forgive me if I am wrong (and I am definitely not), is called marketing
And for giving a few dollars a day to the community - we have to accept the fact that you are spamming that same community to oblivion? I am not okay with that.
There are quite a few other companies that spend money on this community, in terms of ads, yet - they are not in here, screaming at everyone that the community is alive because of them. You seem to be the only one doing that.
This falls in the "marketing" portion of everything. You spend less on LET than you would on google AdWords, so don't act like you are doing everyone a favor by spamming us. You are only doing it to cram more people into your servers.
Again - marketing. Every company out there spends money on marketing. So don't get yourself fooled that you are doing something special.
No problem, I will exclude it.
I spend roughly between $4500 and $5500 per month on providers from LET (and a few $k on non-LET providers like AWS, DO, Linode and Vultr). The price difference between $4500 and $5500 is due to some yearly offers being renewed, so putting that into account.
I have services with almost every worth-having provider on here, except a few known scammers like yourself (paging alpharacks), pqhosting, hostsolutions and other providers, that I personally consider not worth having my dollars.
So to put this in perspective for you - you are not the one that moves this community forward. Its us - the users that do it. Because we spend money on providers, which in effect forces them to be more active on here, and spend money on the hilariously low priced ads on LET.
So please stop tooting your own horn. We all know who you are, and what you did in the past. Stop pretending that you give two shits about this community. We will not forget how you did hit this same community a few years ago, albeit using alpharacks, instead of rackners.
Why isn't @VirMach BF2018 thread still popping up? It's posted in daily...

Truly sorry to see @yoursunny has stopped spearheading the IPv6 movement on LET. He now thanks posts from a provider that doesn't have IPv6.
You claim to be nobodyinteresting, but you truly are interesting. The fact that you asked how I contribute to the community, and I respectively explained how so, and you turn around and mention the obvious that it also benefits my company (marketing) blows my mind. I acknowledge you contribute to the community by spending thousands per month on providers here on LET. Thank You for your contribution!
Lastly, I never doubted that users help keep the community alive, that's obvious - thus a platform like this has expenses and I'm happy that the funds we spend, help do so. And yes, by doing so it potentially benefits a company and in our case, we've successfully obtained clientele here.
I'm surprised that Vanilla doesn't have a thread unfollow button.
But on the other hand, we need drama, not buttons.
I am not opening offers section, that is on homepage
The reason you get the wall of RackNerd offers on the homepage is that you previously have opened the threads and there are X new replies.
Do I look like a new member? I know the difference, bruh..
Right?
@frog - they show even if you haven't opened them. Just FYI
I'm impressed by your level of stupid.
Cool beans.
If it isn't clear already - Racknerd gets special privileges where threads don't sink because they're moving servers from CC.
I don't think any amount of bitching will change that because bumping offer threads moves more Racknerd VPS's, which moves more CC servers.
Does that make us Server Justice Warriors?
This is not correct. There is no relationship between LowEndBox and ColoCrossing. The parent company of ColoCrossing sold LowEndBox in January 2020. What vendors RackNerd uses has no impact on their ability to utilize the exposure opportunities available to all providers, here on LowEndBox and LowEndTalk.
Our users are our life blood. For them, I am immensely thankful. I'm also grateful for the contributions of our content creators, admins, moderators, developers, system admins and advertisers. Without the entirety of all components our community couldn't be successful.
RackNerd's marketing department is well oiled and I personally find it impressive. Other providers would be well suited to mimic some of their actions.
Yes, RackNerd supports our community in an immense way through ads. Yes, they get the benefit of clicks from those banners. Just like all of our advertisers, I'm glad our ads provide an acceptable ROI.
Hmmm I'm not sure but I'm guesing a review is different from a normal? Not experiencing any cloudflare issues posting so trying to figure out what's going on with CF wrt op
Can you answer why @VirMach's thread was set to sink?
