Yeah of course, but the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the second best time is right now. At least they eventually replied.
Hopefully in the future they will be more proactive, but they did mention they are struggling with health problems at the moment.
Oh please stop the BS already!
@hosthatch didn't allege anything, he merely - and verbatim - wondered who pays you to write. Now, yes, that does imply that he does assume that you are paid, but it does not allege or try to paint as if it was a fact.
And I can understand that he's wondering, after all you indeed are quite active in Hosthatch related threads and afaik consistently anti Hosthatch while, as we now learned, you are not even a customers of theirs.
Dishing out mercilessly but at the same time being super-sensitive isn't working well.
(Now, before you accuse me of just being another Hosthatch fan: Yes, I'm mildly pro Hosthatch, but based on actual and consistently positive experience over years. But I'm certainly not defending them blindly no matter what, I "defend" them here because "hell, enough is enough!". Besides, it seems that one of their leaders has health problems; shouldn't that be reason enough to cut them some slack ...)
Actually I don't think you are a biased poster here. I remember your post where you are the only one who said to take YABS with a pinch of salt which may vary from actual scenario and digging deeper, I found the same. So I will be grateful to you for learning something new. You seem to see things objectively and I respect that.
Coming to the point, "but I truly wonder who pays you to write the 50 or so comments" to you it doesn't seem like an allegation but from my perspective, it's a serious allegation of me taking bribe to write something against HH which is truly against what I believe in and also goes against the spirit of the community as a whole. If it is BS for you, then be it but it is something offending for me.
And since, the allegations have been made, one should follow up with evidences.
Maybe it doesn't make sense when translated to your language, what it means is that they are wasting opportunity cost doing something instead of using their life for something productive. It has nothing to do with being paid to complain the way they wrote it.
The term 'allegation' is not what you or I or anyone perceive or interpret, it has a definition, a vital part of which is that it must be communicated clearly.
Plus, there always is the other side as well. And consistency.
Following your view, merely uttering a suspicion (if even that) can be taken as an allegation - but: what is @Hosthatch's view, how does he define 'allegation'? In case his view is similar to yours, you do not have any basis for your interpretation that he (allegedly) made an allegation against you (because from his POV he might feel to merely have spoken one (of many) thoughts possible).
Short version: A society needs clearly defined terms and replacing those with subjective "definitions" leads to chaos and finally to a rotten not-anymore-society (or community), although it may seem advantageous momentarily.
What Hosthatch said does not match the term 'allegation' but the term 'suspicion' at worst. Which in relation to many of your "anti-Hosthatch" posts actually was a very mild reaction.
I'll be using your parameters.
In that case,
Suspicion: Who pays me.
Allegation: I am getting paid to post negative comments.
Both are present here.
Nope. because an allegation would need to be uttered clearly and as a fact.
You see, if you said "I wonder whether Trump is gay" you would imply the possibility that he might be gay but it wouldn't be an allegation. However, to say "Trump is gay" would be an allegation ... but highly likely bring you to court and get you sentenced unless you could provide tangible, credible and clear evidence.
Anything starting with "I wonder whether ..." quite likely will be interpreted as an allegation by some but with very high likelihood is not (and would e.g. not stand in court).
And there we haven't even touched many other relevant issues like e.g. protected free speech ...
Btw, don't confuse implication and allegation.
Look closely. Your construction is very different from the quoted words. There is an added subject involved there which changes the context altogether.
But it's getting way offtopic here.
You don't take it as allegation but implication, that's fine. But for me, it's a serious accusation and that too, without providing any evidence.
@itachikonoha why are you constantly talking shit about HH and stirring the pot in HH threads? Are you here just to talk shit about them?
For the record I’m not HH customer, not planning to be one and I also know you are not HH customer so I believe you wouldn’t get impacted with any delays of server deliveries. Yet I fail to understand why you just talk in their thread 24/7 and arguing with other members constantly.
Because I am also part of the community of which, the people who are putting grievance yet were getting ignored until today are also.
You may be a individualistic person who stay away when someone is having problems but I view that differently.
You are not getting ignored because you are not their customer. You are just joining the crowd waiting for their server delivery and shit talking about the provider when you don’t even have any contract with them.
There are hundreds of providers here, and other people having issues with their providers, even deadpooled provider threads and at how many of them did you “share their grievance”?
I mean, it's a public forum, so they have the right to have an opinion.
And in their defence, people keep replying to them and prompting them for replies so it's hardly fair to call them out for posting so much
Today, HH offered money to anyone who compile my posts for unknown purpose. I hope someone does because as a side effect that will automatically answer your question.
Really? Where?
Here ....

The purpose is quite straightforward - so I can reply to any future threads you pollute with a simple compilation of the nearly a hundred comments you have made in the recent past, so anyone reading your comments as standalone/unbiased on new threads can make a more informed opinion.
At this point, I would truly be worried about the legitimacy of any provider that you do actually recommend.
Thanks for the information. I hope someone takes the job. If that helps on speeding up the process of provisioning of promotional servers and addressing tickets of both promotional and regular customers, I will be glad.
When will you deliver my server btw?
(Note: I didn’t order anything yet)
Why do you make this your mission? Did you just wake up one day and said “I should solve all the problems of HH?”
What you are doing is keeping alive the bad talk / shit talk about a provider.
HH said they will deliver the products and people are free to cancel their pre-orders.
Do you think that when you constantly shit talk about them will make the deliveries or ticket replies quicker? Let me tell you, no it wont.
It'd be pretty unfair for anyone to take your money to do that. It's approximately 90% of every comment he's ever made on LET.
Kindly check your dm.
I have a question here.
It's a public forum. I am writing a post in the criticism of HH and he is replying as the way he understands it.
How does it affects you?
You should accuse him of being related to HostHatch, as you did earlier to someone else.
It doesn’t affect me, like you do, I’m writing on a public forum.
You can keep shit talking about HH and I can keep talking about you shit talking about HH.
It just looks and sounds like you are butt hurt from HH and trying to get your revenge by keeping the shit talk alive so they lose their customers.
He has called HH customers as blind cheerleaders. He definitely has some bitterness.
His criticism is limited to only two LET providers.
HH losing or gaining customers have nothing to do with me. I am simply pointing out the unfair practices that are going on.
What unfair practice? Did they sold you something expensive then offered it for discount to someone else?
Kindly quote the post where I accused someone. It should be easier since I am guessing you have the compilation?
I agree 100% with your observation.
Sir please don’t forget to send my monthly cheerleading fee to my bank account.
