@Ishaq has been less tolerant recently, so some of the long-running freak shows get nipped in the bud.
xfuse and the entire GVH debacle was a classic. Not sure if anyone was ever banned. I seen to recall his wife came here and insulted us all with the word dildo repeatedly.
mtwiscool 's incredible (in the literal sense of that word) schemes were entertaining. 32mb.club, where you could have hundreds of customers on a single SATA drive because everyone knows that LET users just sign up to let their stuff idle, so it scales. I'm still waiting for his world-wide "one SSID" wifi network.
I still remember DepotVPS_Shane though he was really just a low-grade mtwiscool. He had YouTube vids of him building his nodes with Best Buy parts.
One of my favorites was the "free VPS by phone" guy. Can't find the thread now, but essentially the scheme was that you the customer would call a phone number and listen to ads. If you listened to enough ads, you'd earn a free VPS. Someone did the math and realized it was listening for 90 hours a month to get a 512 or something. The poster said "well, you can just dial and set the receiver down and walk away..."

The best story was clearly the insanity that was SZ1. From amiable, friendly 'host-with-L-plates' to complete fucking lunatic over the course of a few months.
Seems pretty boring now days
That's because we fuck everyone out of here ASAP. History has taught us not to be so tolerant.
@Nekki Like the recent DriveOne thread? Post to business destroyed in ~45 minutes?
Pretty much, although that guy was a special kind of stupid.
Oh! I found the phone thread. Turns out it's actually a 1.5GB VPS and only took 4166 minutes (69 hours) of listening...but unmetered!

I'd also list Johnny Nguyen's suicide threats and police raid as classic history.
There was the CurtisG insanity....and who was the little cunt who hacked RamNode? Robert something?
That puts very low value to the word business.
Before my time here so thanks for sharing. That was awesome.
Joshua Prout. Stay tuned for his next ban. Should be any day now.
Why was @WSS banned? This easter some of us got an offer from @vmbox because of him, with "WSS" coupon code.
As far as I understand, he didn't to follow clear mod instructions.
cociu ban was epic, given history of it (legendary "sister name" etc.). And maybe GVH Johny?
It was Robert Clarke , but he is little grown up. Now
He is still around as well. I got a PM from him not to long ago about IPs. Not too sure I trust anyone with his background, truth be told.
I have been following let for long time . I can tell that he maybe a good guy but he was in high adrenaline mood while doing that . He used to think RamNode as this direct competitor at that time and many direct competing offers !!
He got banned?
Who ? There are two different person !!
Sorry man even at my craziest, and believe me I have gone off the fucking walls, I would never use an exploit in that way. Especially against some one like Nick. All he has ever done is help this community, and try to make a living. Direct competition or not, makes no damned difference, when you see the harm that was done to clients. They had nothing to do with nothing, and neither did Nick. That was just a low blow and not something you do, unless you are complete dick.
The hostsolution one
Yeah I know that is kind of crazy shit that he has done as a kid . I expect him now as a grown up person .
It was kind of meme
" Do you have a sister ? "
He got banned and then unbanned it was funny temperament fight between @cociu and one customer
hmmm ...
Don't mind them man they are just talking. I am sure no offense is meant, or implied here.
i dont like when one is meeting sisters , was all mine reserved before !!
Yeah I like that line of cociu still I mention when get a chance
What was the story with Delimiter again? Someone signed up to their service with a high traffic site and they treated them like shit? They used to be highly thought of here, amirite?!
