    Most of the time I am (or at least I believe I am) :) But sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade, no point dressing it.

    If you've been here long enough you should know that I'm not afraid to shitpost when needed. Sometimes it's the only way to deal with cancer.

    I know that - I've seen your posting and they are often quite graphic.

    Heh, as I said, I posted my opinion, wasn't by any form an accusation and I'm not into arguing about it. What I asked for, was kinda simple. Troops protect each other and we can see it in this very same thread.

    @jarland,

    I ended up the trial after switching providers twice, without billing anyone. LET represents a very small niche that won't get you a big profit for sure. Some do it like well, like Fran and others. But most will be acquired or deadpool. Profit doesn't justify the time spent, while lots of the CEO's here would have a nice salary if they were working for someone else. I don't hold anything agains't MarkTurner. I think that he has a very aggressive Marketing approach in LET. Other than that, well, the troops here and gangs protecting each other are quite fun. I do get it why reputable members we had here, simply left. Spoke to a few of those. There's a lot of drama being posted here, bashing and other several subjects which are simply useless.

    People are just stating the obvious, not sure why you think people are ganging up on you. You pulled random crap up like you have a vendetta against @MarkTurner or something. You might consider what he did a bit dickish but lots more would praise him for it... I for one found it quite dickish that you tried to sell a server that was donated to you by ColoCrossing.

    If you've got a specific complaint feel free to report it, but don't just sit around here trash talking for no reason. I think I treat everyone fairly and if you disagree, talk to me. Of course I like some people more than others, I'm human not a robot and I'll make no effort to suggest otherwise.

    If your sole purpose is to talk about how much you dislike LET, please do us all a favor and post it in the cest pit, create a thread for it, or just stop. I'm not being unreasonable here and I'm offering you the opportunity to police yourself.

    Hmhm, I Think U Failed too. I asked pretty basic questions. Didn't bash anyone.
    As for the CC server, I paid them twice, two months. That went to ChicagoVPS and the money went to CC, correct? I tried to resell it to recover some costs. The network in Buffalo sucks and I wouldnt accept to bill anyone as a client to have such horrible network speeds.

  • MrGeneral said: Troops protect each other and we can see it in this very same thread.

    Its not about that, I've taken many beatings on here. Probably more than most when I first arrived.

    I am not here to promote a solely Yomura/Delimiter agenda, if you look through my postings, I will recommend the right company for the right job. You'll often see me recommending other hosting companies, colo providers, transit providers.

    Its not about winning every deal you can and hope that you can make it work, its about earning trust. You do that by knowing your company's strengths and shortcomings; and determining whether you are a good fit for the customer. There is nothing worse than making a commitment and then screwing it up.

    That's funny, coming from an Admin who had problems before and apologised publicly.. Then you went to Admin. Heh, there's what I meant.

    I dislike a few things here but have always been willing to help. Wasn't I? Actually, I have been here for a long time... Even before you.

    So that's why you're so pissy, because you weren't made an admin?

    @jbiloh gave you that server free as a good gesture for past issues. Don't bullshit anyone.

    Nah the fact is you complain but are not willing to do anything to change it. You are the biggest fucking hypocryte on this forum. You complain about people being cheap then start your own lowend host AND THEN try to transfer that server to save people money. Just grow up.

    Didn't mean to start a war here.

    Fact of the matter is for what I've paid them, QuadIX hassle been solid for me. They had one window of downtime where they didn't communicate anything to me and another where they did. To me this is an improvement. I don't know about this litigation stuff but like I said. If they disappear it's as simple as a vzmigrate or restoring a vzdump. I'm not going to loose any sleep.

    I have a great deal from them and got lucky that's about it.

    Just like I have a great deal from HVH because I got lucky there too and @ernie is just a nice guy.

    I also have a bunch of great deals from @qps as I've been doing business with them for quite some time now.

    I like a lot of the providers here and just don't feel like the people here who ride them are always justified. They're just people who are mad about some negative experience they had.

    I always try out new providers or providers people shit on because it means they're still cutting their business teeth and I like to encourage small business growth with my money.

    If the services are an issue for production then I use an appropriate provider.

    jarland said: It's obviously your choice just... You could be doing this on a RAID10 backed VPS node without monthly outages for half or less. I'm not even self promoting, use Lunanode to spin up at hourly rates for far less.

    >

    I'm taking the unpopular position of declaring VPS the next dedi replacement for everyone buying cheap single disk dedis to replace their VPS, forgetting why we all bought VPS in the first place. At some point, regardless of the decreasing cost of low end dedis, I predict people going down this path will once again transition to the still less expensive option for the things they're not needing dedicated CPU cores for.

    That's exactly what I've done. I started out with a VPS, then I moved to a dedi because sometimes I pegged the CPU at 100% and I didn't want to be terminated for resource abuse, but now I've moved to Luna Node since I can peg the CPU and all I have to worry about is the few pennies per hour it costs me.

    So even those needing dedicated CPU cores might want to reconsider a dedi in favour of something like Luna Node's "Flexible" plans. If you're using 100% of 4 cores for 30 days straight, then yeah a dedi is probably the way to go, but in my case unless I use 100% of 4 cores for >10 days per month, I'm coming out ahead with Luna Node (and I'm getting WAY more features and WAY better performance too).

    Since this has sort of turned into an ad for Luna Node, I'll also mention support is awesome. For example I emailed them asking how to do something via their API, they said it wasn't supported but could be added and they'd let me know when it was available...from past experience with other providers I expected this to mean I'd never see the feature supported in my lifetime, but later that day I was informed it was implemented!

    Now back to QuadIX vs Delimiter :)

    Ree said: Since this has sort of turned into an ad for Luna Node, I'll also mention support is awesome. For example I emailed them asking how to do something via their API, they said it wasn't supported but could be added and they'd let me know when it was available...from past experience with other providers I expected this to mean I'd never see the feature supported in my lifetime, but later that day I was informed it was implemented!

    Luna Node is so damn awesome! They have so many features, I haven't even tried out their flexible plans yet but I think I will soon :).

  • @MrGeneral NEVER EVER say anything bad or ask about delimiter because most people will attack you because they can't accept truth and believes only in LIES of delimiter!

    @jbiloh most people always say bad about colocrossing but hey you should take a look at yomura how company based on lies getting protected by some members here!

    Ban delimiter offers by cleaning let from a lie!

    @jarland who ever banned @MrGeneral does it means staff of let protecting delimiter lies now? Maybe staff should ban anyone who says bad or asks about colocrossing too? How fair is this ?

  • Was about to say well done for lasting two days into 2016 without downtime... but I'm sure it's not the first time in two days.

  • @jarland can be ban @alexvolk now?
