WTF?
Same IP is a good indication of something afoul.
Weren't Chris and Jon from Colocrossing found to be using the same IP before also?
Yeah, I know, Chris was just driving to the mall and decided to detour to Jon's place. As if the whole tech world isn't using 3G/4G and doing mobile work on their plan...
Funny if mikehighend isn't Chris. They posted nearly simultaneously on this thread.
Every freaking post by mikehighend seems to be about CVPS and/or Colocrossing.
see: http://www.lowendtalk.com/profile/comments/2778/mikehighend
Maybe mikehighend = Jon?
Who knows? I raised this before:

Maybe they are all just good friends and share connections/servers/ebay accounts ?
And defend + recomment each other at LEB/LET wherever there's chance?
If they are all close friends I can see this happening.
Plausible.
@Liam and @Infinity - I believe that it's only fair to hear from @mikehighend as well. Maybe he can provide an adequate explanation.
@CVPS_Chris There is nothing wrong with traveling
Not everyone's on facebook/twitter/email/forums 24/7 to conduct business or socialize.
I'm not accusing anyone of anything, nor do I think @Liam is.
A new mystery unfolds....
Naah, they are just "clients happy with colocrossing service" as long they (or he?) don't get caught - then "they" become "friends".
Okay, so are they the same exact IPs or just within the same /24?
Why not have a conference call with Chris, John, and Mike
Surprise, surprise.. this new guy, mostly active only in chicagovps/colocrossing threads also briefly appeared in End OF Reality (which some people believe is owned by chicagovps) thread http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/89861#Comment_89861 Are they just friends too?
If you are a guy like Chris, then you got a lot of close friends. Naturally.
I have 0 friends in this industry. In fact - the closest to a friend in the industry I have is @jarland because he is local to me. (Yet we still haven't been to lunch
)
let's wait 'both' of them to explain
Wait for what? They have both explained, the question is whether it's to be believed, you decide
@tommy we're therapists now? :P
@kbeezie
Yep. before they know it we'll be charging them for the hour but only giving them 50 minutes.
$7 please or no more therapy.
@Infinity -> Don't sweat it, I was just extending some common courtesy
For some reason, VPS52 in Chicago was rebooted.... annoyed
SAME IP.
This has happened on multiple occasions. Well traveled stories, repeated and washed multiple times.
Like I said, when traveling, people tend to stay plugged into their mobile connection. Who asks for wifi login credentials and such to get on someone else's network? Tends to be more of a pain than anything.
Can't see hanging out elsewhere and co-chattering on LET. Certainly can't see inciting the other guy in the room to defend my honor. Seems totally unkosher / dishonest / suspect. blah blah blah.
Just read the Mike fellows comments. Aside from selling some 5410 servers, the rest is all CC and CVPS loving. Reads nearly identical to the snake sales pitch methods Jon uses on WHT to pitch CVPS.
This saga might reach 1000 without an effort...
This is getting worse than Colorhost.co ;0!
Weird how Mikehighend is always commenting on CVPS shit. Never making own threads about something specific; generic... Good setup if it's true Chris. Otherwise' just a casual floater.
Interestingly, it appears there are no relevant references to a 'Mike' or 'Michael' on any Chris-related pages (LinkedIn etc). Seems unlikely to me that someone interested in hosting business is not in some way listed somewhere on the internet.
Additionally, interesting how this page refers to a Nick Fabozzi in the page title and URL, yet the page is about Chris.

As stated I do not use my linkedin, I have not logged in for over a year and only used it for about 1 week. Mike is friends with me on Facebook, however, I have deactivated it for now.
@CVPS_Chris Don't care much about Mike or who, Is LA clients moving to a new node?
If not, Any ETa?
You might want to make sure that your linkedin account didn't get hacked then...
That could be another Chris that owns a completely different ChicagoVPS company.
I sent out 500+ invites along time ago, sure people are just getting around to accepting
