    I'm impressed by the number of times @rm_ has managed to vote in the poll.

    LET has lost its glorious days of "good" offers already... can't really see any good players up for offers past many months.

    That's because the "good players" don't need LET anymore, they're established companies that don't need reviews to get sales. Example, Ramnode & BuyVM to name a few.

    i wonder does he get hit by each vote? @rm_ tell us you are in one piece?

    1. Pingdom discount. Their prices are ridiculous anyways! (Suggest an alternative?)
    2. All Non-recurring deals. Thanks, but no thanks.
    3. OVH threats to raise prices.
    4. Offers where provider "forgets" to disclose a trivial detail, such as: shitty network, crazy ToS.
    5. Are there gonna be better deals on Cyber Monday or not?

    Who knew @Nick_A and @Francisco were so snobby now? Breaks my heart, especially coming at this time of year.

    But we'll probably forgive them when we see the amazing deals they unleash on Friday.

    Indubitably.

    Anyway, we've never been one for doing Black Friday deals. With that being said, our slices are awesome and very well priced :)

    We'll probably put something on Twitter tomorrow. Trying to save some hardware for the new system though.

    Non-recurring deals are like 6'5" tall fat women - unattractive. But somebody needs to commit to them... right?

    Free is too expensive, you should pay the user for purchasing a service.

    Having a marquee customer like me doesn't come cheap.

    Because they are physically stronger and blackmail you with VPN logs of visiting really weird hentai sites? [Totally fictional story, don't pity me :( ]

    Non-recurring incentive is nothing compared to that! I rest my case.

    Don't sugarcoat it for us.

    Foul said: Would a free 4GB RAM KVM with 100GB HDD for three months make you cuntasticful happy Nekki? (Hosted in dallas)

    Not really, I have no use for something like that. El Cheapo will probably take your arm off though.

    Considering I get bored after running benchmarks on those... 1 day would be enough hehe.

    Could you please let us know a little bit more about it? It'll be openstack right? Will you migrate all VMs to it? Any custom panel for front end?

    I can't seems to find black friday deals that can beat ovh/sys/kimi regular pricing.

    I'll admit I'm only here for really good deals, fuck paying normal low end pricing and HDDs

    This is what LET has come to, no more fair pricing products, only 1$ oversold ssd vpses are welcome

    Finally, the correct request! That's next stage of LET evolution: providers competing to pay more to customers who would risk to use those pathetic offers.

    "Well, if you add 32GB of RAM, and at least 1TB of SSD space, and pay me $45 monthly, I will take your dedicated server".

    It is not as of yet Friday !!

    Exactly the way that the requests at LET are going we should see this type of request within 2017 for sure.
