Is the constant bump of threads an issue?

I suppose part of the reason there is still so much attention on it is because a lot of the services sold haven't been delivered yet?

Holy shade, Batman!

It’s very odd and stupid to see the Xmas or BF deals in March, April or May time on LET as someone is bumped the old thread instead of contacting hosting support department.

I would rather see Virmach open a new thread rather than continuing the discussions in this old thread:

We're fine with all offer threads sinking again as they used to in the past, because that would make sense. But only if all of them do. We've been posting in the old offer threads since the beginning of time, if there are replies to it, there will be a reply back. There will be updates posted, and people also like hanging around.

This thread was only "unsunk" because at the time there were something like 5 different threads from another provider which will not be named. Hey, at least we're not halving bandwidth amounts on our packages and then asking for a comment to double it (outside of any time we did that ironically) and the primary focus of our offer thread isn't a giveaway where people spam reply for entries, and we most certainly do not purposefully space out our replies to people to continue bumping our thread ourselves.

Why is there so much attention on this thread?

Is it because all the bandwidth hasn't been doubled yet?

There's no real secret as to why RackNerd obtains so much attention. We've repeatedly been voted #1 top provider by the community. It's simple, we've invested in our support department which has quickly proven to be a key to providing support that customers can actually count on. As a result, our reputation reflects the service we provide, and our popularity continues to grow, alongside our business!

A possible explanation is that, LET and RackNerd are indirectly owned by the same parent company that we do not yet know about.
Hence, RackNerd funnels traffic to LET, and LET priorities promotion of RackNerd.

At the very least, there are some sort of kickbacks taking place. There is absolutely no other explanation for showing so much bias towards one provider, and one provider only. There is no doubt that some relationship exists.

It really could be as simple as them being friends and believing they're being mutually beneficial. They've defended their actions before along the lines of, "we're not doing anything any other provider couldn't also do".
