RamNode has a Wikipedia page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RamNode

Actually been there for almost a year. Just stumbled on it because I typed RamNode in my search bar accidentally.

No Wikipedia pages for any other LEB providers...

    Interestingly, the wiki page says

    "RamNode gained widespread attention during the rise of D2.vu".

    I think hosting parts of torrent friendly Demonoid also helped them get the Wikipedia page. Seems like guerrilla marketing does work, even when you don't do it intentionally ;)

    Interesting. Nice find.

    Generally in order for commercial entities to be included in Wikipedia they have to be very large. Smaller companies that create their own pages or have one written about their company usually get removed.

  • Purer than snow collections like wiki today and dmoz.org in the past always have a bit of err... bias, particularly if you know editors.

    If any LET providers deserve a listing on there, Ramnode is a contender.

    The last modified header is 30 Oct, maybe it's just as old.

    I'd argue that the case is not necessarily that they need to be "very large" (although in some cases, such as MyBB, this can work), just that they need to escape their original niche. Ramnode has some articles linked due to notoriety in the piracy community, whereas it's core functionality is in the LE* community.

    Wikipedia articles are for those who can make an argument that someone cares.

    Sometimes I randomly type RamNode in my search bar too :)

    Ah, the good old days...

  • I have seen that Afternic.com parking is hosted on RamNode servers.

    Even those companies are using RamNode. Good job @Nick_A

    Please remove this post. I think I'd rather stick to the shadows.
