Figured you lads would enjoy this.
Colocrossing, and what appears to be all of their sub brands and assets, have been bought by “Deluxe.com”, a megacorp like EIG.
They’ve not announced this anywhere but the trademark on the “Colocrossing” name has been transferred.
Don’t believe the image? http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4808:zr9d11.2.1
You also have the following posting done by deluxe.com:

You can view this Press Release at http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=61257&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2355024
The big questions I have are:
Why haven’t they announced anything?
How are they going to recoup the purchase, I’d assume by pushing the price up on everyone’s rates?
How the fuck did they go from supposedly making $12M/year to $7M/year?
Is Biloh still involved?
Carry it far and wide!Enjoy!
Looks like the trademark search links expire, but you can go here: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov and do a 'basic word mark search' for 'colocrossing' to get the result.
This is the pertinent line:

I just want to say.
Dicks out for @Harambe if he gets banned for cross posting this.

Eh, I don't think it breaks any rules. If I do get banned, just let the boys know I went out screaming 'god is great' in Arabic.

The million dollar question: will Deluxe make LET great again?
hostballs.com whaaaaaat
I was drunk.
The best money is autopilot money.
Well after all the failures over the years, and how much time they've recently put in - the buy out makes sense.
From a cursory glance of deluxe.com - it looks like they have their hands in a bit of everything, but hosting stuff is limited to shared.
Probably picked up to run as-is, keep it going as long as it makes money - and worst case they're sitting on some 700k+ IP addresses which should continue to increase in value.

thanks for sharing ;-)
So, CC to get ipv6 now?
Never heard of Deluxe until now lol
So, today is nigh?

Same here -
People always seem to be drunk or had sex before they think about a new name for a project.
That explains where FAPVPS comes from.
That's kinda interesting, bless the holy toilet of ideas.
Some people even say, mind-expanding drugs are the best, but who knows.

The left pic looks like my old broom.
@AnthonySmith Would this have any consequences for LET?
And that’s a great question. We’re not exactly corporate-friendly (anyone care for a cunt?). On the other hand, I imagine the ads make money.
the end is _____.
___ _____ "___ ___ __ ____" _______? "_____" __ ___ ____.
Censored by ColoCrossing.Absolutely no idea, you perhaps over estimate the amount of shits CC give about LET/B or the amount of communication I have with them, exactly 3 emails 1 of which never even got a reply.
That's about it.
So when I say your guess is as good as mine, I mean it
Gotcha!
Have you tried calling them? I think I still have Biloh's cell #.
Why would I do that lol?
The only real difference between me and a moderator is that I pick the moderators, the Admin role is not what it used to be.
I dont think they ever will!
I mean, we could just tag him in...
@jbiloh
(maybe email notifications work now? idk)
Nope, they don’t :-(
I don't think @jbiloh is involved in any real capacity at this point. He hasent been on the site since Feb.
