Smiling faces. /end joke, we both know that'll never happen.
Personally, I'd like to see more exotic offers that actually have something different about them. Not just "OH LOOK ANOTHER 1GB OVZ for $7/MTH WOW", you know?
More non-ColoCrossing offers and more yearly's.
No more 'Make Money' ads. It's should be 'Spend Money on vps' only.
Some coding/script or some sys-admin competitions for different users, seen it on overclockers forum was kinda fun joining in the monthly competitions
More tutorials would be great
Some specific tutorials on how to install, manage and secure VPS and running a site.
Because I new user to VPS will need those IMO.
@TheKiller but there are tons of articles on setting up a Linux server on the Internet. What are you looking for that you think LEB can provide that others don't (Don't get me wrong I like the idea, I'm just curious what sort of spin you hope to get from LEB compared to other places)
I'd love to see this
@tarasis it will be good if some one found LEB and tutorials at the same spot. That will help build community. I felt the same when a year ago I faced same situation
some more dedicated server offer's not just VPS
some shared hosting / vpn offers.
Hookers
Por more tutorials, either way is fine
More
qualitytutorials. Also, I'd love see "Important news of the week/month" where you can synthetize ... important news.Shared Hosting Offers maybe
More tutorials focused on running on low end machines.
Hell no! LowEndBox implied VPS bro
I'd like proper wiki for the tutorial, with index and all. Weekly/monthly competition(but not the one where you need to suck up to anybody) would be nice too.
Please no disqus, but I do agree tutorials for low end boxes could be useful.
Benchmarks please.

ME: comparison of VPSs regarding disk speed, network speed, uptime, price
Interesting offers that are found instead of submitted, none VPS offers e.g. hosted exchange, hosted storage, saas etc etc.
LET/B is only interested in VPS/low cost dedi apparently (has been the answer time and time again.)
Adapt or die imo, and also imo the latter is happening.
More or less is just about purpose of LEB which I believe is lost. It used to be website dedicated to feature and introduce some great things we aren't so familiar with. Now it's site to re-post offers from same old known hosts all the time.
Whoever read LET don't need to even open LEB anymore.
It can be still good to grab some good coupon of our favourite hosts from time to time, but to read and comment... there's nothing to comment about same known names all the time.
Imagine Playboy magazine to repeatedly feature every third month same playmate. That's what LEB became. Popular hosts are repeatedly "featured" all the time. That's boring and worthless reading.
What I would like to see at LEB? Something what I don't see all the time at LET ;-) More of those in past standard, but lately dramatically called "surprise posts" :P

This pretty much sums everything up, sadly Jon does not agree and thinks the visitor numbers are up so nothing will change, you know... until its gone.
+1 , I couldn't have said it better myself.
People need to stop living in the past, neither site is owned by a single passionate person who has a common view shared by the community.
It's owned by a business, to make money etc...
Been what? Over a year now and still so many can't stop reliving what is gone and going to stay gone.
More geographical diversity, better callouts to what services are banned on boxes. It would be nice if the offering breakdown was machine readable / sortable. Like if I could select > 128MB > 20GB disk and south america. It is nice to put our servers close to our clients.
Agreed, as I said adapt or die, the idea of the past has been long forgotten and trampled now it will never return, if it is a business it needs to make a lot more effort though, half of LEB has been broken or seriously out of date for 2 years.
