The Delimiter Slot Hosting experience

Sounds entirely reasonable.
Only a fucking idiot would keep a dish on the menu that's a problem to make and nobody really orders.
Are you going to read my post and respond to it? Why does delimiter think it's acceptable to post customer data on a public forum?
What frustrates me isn't that you're sticking up for them, it's that you appear to assume any criticism is baseless. When we all see the same sorts of complaints about service over and over and over again it's perhaps time to accept that the customer isn't always wrong and just looking for drama. I don't think anyone here deserves that much latitude, not even the ones I like.
If I'm misinterpreting your posts then I apologise, but that's how it has come across to me.
Definitely not, and of the threads I read there are few I care enough to post in. I'm very far from perfect so feel free to flame me right back
Wow, jarland you are actually defending Delimeter?
Incredible.
I guess you get bought easily...what was it, some Pop-Tarts?
That was the best money spent by Delimiter.
Funny enough the other guy defending Delimiter (Mun), also received Pop-Tarts!
I guess it's just my attitude today, honestly. I don't think you're misinterpreting, I'm just getting a little tired of certain attitudes on LET and I should probably take myself out of the game for a few hours.
I'm probably more pissed at Amazon for delaying my shipment 3 times, and myself for driving 45 minutes to best buy without my debit card, and I'm probably taking it out on others.
Oh shut up and read the rest of my posts :P
I don't think @Mun was defending them as such? More just a remark that his slot hosting experience had been a good one, as a counterpoint to the OPs experience.
Basically, leave my Munzy alone, alright?
Hard to understand how anyone's defending the host.
The OP orders slot hosting and sent his drive.
The host got the drive and does nothing for 3 days, so OP asks what's going on.
No response for additional 3 days.
So, OP cancels the service and asks for the drive to be shipped back.
Host asks for a shipping label.
OP sends one but it's bill to sender.
OP sends another and is a correct one this time.
7 days goes by without the drive being shipped.
Then OP posts his story here.
How can anyone defend the host in this case?
Pop tarts.
Its always like that. And if you dont agree, you will be banned, unless you have a gang here looking for you. I dislike jarland as much he dislikes me, but here, Im an honest guy with no gangs.
lol
I wanted to like you. I tried hard to like you. I even did like you. You just kept finding ways to be a dick to me, so you're right... I don't like you. Case in point, I admitted to having a rough day and you thought it was appropriate to kick me while I was down. Dick move, but that's just the kind of person you are.
you see the special irony of this statement inside this thread yourself, don't you?
If the issue's profitability, that's a perfectly reasonable explanation (even if doing it in this thread is perhaps not the best idea).
No! Remember now, drama is pageviews. Feed the fire.
(I suppose the irony is continual drama is what you're upset about!)
Lol you're not wrong
This thread cropped up at the shittiest time possible. I was gonna go shopping at delimiter's shack..
Sorry to burst your bubble girls but lets really analyse this:
The customer posted:
Look at the bottom of the screenshot, it shows the USPS tracking information, access the URL and you'll see the source of the package.
Then the OP posted the USPS tracking URL in plain text, which again shows his location:
Now, the Fedex label had the tracking number obfuscated so unless you could read the barcode then you wouldn't be able to get the number. Lets say you did just that - you would get the city and state just as the OP posted.
Important to note that shipment was voided and replacement label sent so that label would carry no useful or identifiable information.
What additional information was released by posting the label - nothing - the OP already disclosed the SAME information.
To make this retard proof, the OP disclosed:
The posting of the fully redacted shipping label disclosed nothing human readable, but one could obtain the tracking number from the barcode, then run it into Fedex's tracker and get the SAME city, state, country that the OP had already disclosed.
Go back and recheck your arguments.
Anyway - if you decide to pull the tracking number, you'll see that the Fedex shows terms 'Seller', according to Fedex (I just called them) that means we'll received the bill.
Of course we have to have the compulsory coupon for this - SNIPPED gives $10 off your first month's dedicated server https://cc.delimiter.com/cart/dedicated-servers/
I would never hurt you if I noticed you were having a bad day. I may be cheapo, stupid and nervous sometimes, but I am told I have a good heart. I follow values honesty and integrity.
I am not a dick nor I will ever be. You choose to believe in what you want. I am pretty sure you have a lot to learn and all that Kingdom thought "I do what I want as an Admin" will go down one day.
There is many people here which I helped in many occasions. Assumptions that I refuted, for example, bashing Delimiter and nowadays I have a server with them (not low cost). Still, no one buys me out. I am always the same person. You really do not know me.
Mark, you are nothing but a dick. This is not meant as an insult. Rather a condition description. And I feel you should be told that more often. I can do that for you. I would love to help you to improve yourself. Just give me a sign and I'll be there for you.
I have removed your coupon code. This is not your time for advertisement.
haha ;-)
I realise that an abuse laden post probably wasnt a good idea....
People are getting wise to you, only a fool will accept such an offer now.
Just when I thought this one was running out to steam...
You forgot to comment about the part where your staff told the customer "the reply to the ticket seems pretty clear", while looking at a ticket without reply.
Would love to find out why your staff thinks the ticket was responded to, but the customer didnt see any replies. Staff replying on cc.delimiter, which isnt visible on clients.delimiter or something?
Please note that the barcode actually has FULL ADDRESSES IN IT. Not just the redacted stuff that was in the tracking link.... I have shown this to @ishaq as well. The barcode is designed to be read, so that its easy to know where the parcel is going, without having to read the address...
Nawww I wish I quoted your shitty rant where you said "fuck you mark" "fuck delimiter ". Just like a child.
[EDIT] fixed type. Damn this S7 to hell the auto correct is so damn aggressive..
I think we already should team up now...
Not want to burst your big bubble, but the PDF417 stacked linear barcode on the FedEx label you generously disclosed here carries the full name and address of the OP (plus some additional sensitive information). No need to run it through FedEx's tracker, everything already in front of you eyes.
Try to be a big man next time. This "but customer has done this and that" is so ridiculous for someone claiming to offer professional services.
WRONG.
WRONG.
WRONG.
One might argue that from name and city, the address is easy obtainable. But that should not be the point of this discussion.
Well, I am not sure why I am being dragged out into the open to be beat on, but as you requested let's go!
Proof I have a slot host:
Currently I use mine with a 6TB red drive, and I use it for backups.
Network graphs:
Processor graphs:
I have had a few blips with the service (link below), most notably the Delimter power fiasco / Karma train. However, for what it does it does well. I mean, it is simply a place for me to store a copy of my VMs so that I can have a recovery option when shit explodes.

For the price point it is excellent and would have to spend at least 4 times as much elsewhere to get similar storage size. In the end, it fills its purpose to a letter, and I am happy with the service I have received.
In total I have put 7 tickets about the service.
Most of them are due to random outages of the box where I required the host to manually start / reset the host node. I have also had to do a few fsck after random power losses where the drive seemed to be out of whack. However nothing major was lossed in any event.
I will note that yes, I did get poptarts (which I have eaten all of). I also got a months supply of LET popcorn for drama like this.
In the end my comments here were more in contrast to OPs. I was saying that I have had generally good experiences with Delimter. That I don't think slot hosting should be shunned, and that frankly for the price it was worth it.
