    To be fair, not everyone has all round IT knowledge/capability. Who said Cobol programmers? Cough! I've known Oracle DBAs that wouldn't know an relative path from a disc partition.

    Yet he deleted ALL the tickets. Hence refuted your own claim that you just made. So what the f-ck are you on about?

    He apparently did that to have a chance to take care of tickets, one reason being that very many tickets (understandably from customers perspective) had been sent multiple times and working on that massive amount of (to a significant degree redundant) tickets just seemed not reasonably feasible.

    Do I like that, do I think that's OK? No, clearly not, in particular as that massive amount of tickets came to exist only because Mr. Borta didn't feel like f_cking properly informing and updating his customers. But hell, it is what it is and I can understand his drastic step.

    Uhm, not meaning to be harsh, but if there is nobody at HostSolutions who's capable of forming and running a simple SQL query then @cociu should seriously consider to close his shop or to find and hire external help.

    @jsg said: just takes time, period,

    Not really, the amount of time matters too.
    Yes, up to a week i can understand, 2 weeks, in extremis, but not 4 AND the deletion of the tickets.
    Look, I am all about not following the crowd here, yes he has been treated unfairly when he was called a scammer, yes, we don't want him gone, even the detractors (minus providers) would like him back in most cases, but the community is right here and the chargebacks are justified.
    Would I chargeback my pennies from a man in distress even if it were of his own making?
    Absolutely not but I would not go as far as asking others to follow the same path.
    I can 100% understand people charging back after waiting a reasonable amount of time and after their ticket has been deleted without even a canned answer "we are looking into this, stay tuned" or "please open a new ticket stating clearly whether you would like your service back with an apology and some credit or a refund in such and such conditions" or at least a link to a postmortem and some offers of credit or refunds.

    @jsg said: I respect your view and can understand it to a large degree, but I also see that such persons play an egotistical "I want my money back, and if others have to bleed for that so be it I don't care".

    From your posts you seem to be person with decent IQ, well educated. It also seems that you have really high level of writing skills and a lot of free time. But on the other hand, when someone actually reads what you have posted it is obvious. You my friend are nothing more but a trol.

    I would ask you to reconsider that bullshit that you stated as it may impact much worse than you are anticipating. People who potentially can get their money out would now potentially reconsider due your bad judgement, extensive trolling or you just being an idiot.

    I am sorry but just two paragraphs from me.

    I don't disagree.
    Did he not say once or twice, that he isn't "technical"? (Rhetorical.)

    Too much IQ can be counter productive. Can short circuit your brain and turn you into a weirdo.

    @stevewatson301 said: Between the excessive loss leading, disputes with GTS, and other experiences, I'm not sure...

    What loss leading are you talking about?

    My dispute with GTS was not related, I was IT Manager for a medium company and after a year of excellent service I have decided their price was too high and contracted 2 other higher BW providers at lower price per total (albeit not clear channel). The contract said i had to cancel 30 working days in advance and I did, just that they counted differently, i was counting the cancellation day, they didn't, effectively removing one day from the 30 because the day of the expiration was also not counted and there was also a little known religious holiday nobody was respecting, so, while I counted i have sent the cancellation at least 1 day earlier thant the 30 contractual working days, they said I have to pay them one more year, that after the service was closed and they took their gear. They told me I will have to pay the litigation costs too, but never bothered to file the papers.
    Cociu's dispute appears to be about the 2 days downtime he had, which probably allowed him to cancel as the contract was very hard on both parties and they are after him to pay for the remaining contractual time without actually providing any service.
    The similar part appears to be the fact they probably know they have no chance so they didn't show up in court nor sent the full paperwork (in my case they didn't file anything at all), it was probably all part of the scare tactics, make up a huge amount and try to settle for the original bill. Internet is really cheap in here and even as GTS is very expensive compared to others, that is a huge amount, probably without a legal base in the contract.

    30 "working" days is weasely, which is why it's usually calendar days.

    PayPal ruled in my favour - Case closed - no response. Ticket involucrated.
    Still have Norway services which are working well.

    You're not afraid of losing your account?

    I thought it was well known and expected if you file a PayPal dispute, you lose your services and account?

    Edit: already discussed.

    Yeah, and it is a huge amount of time too. It is like 6 weeks. The whole contract is done in such a way that there are traps all over. They won't stand in court, but they are there for scare tactics later.
    If that is cociu's case too, I wouldn't worry, they also seem to know it as they didn't file all papers and didn't bother to show up either.

    Any TLDR so far?

    Like he decided to profit from this Chia farming trend and sell all HDDs and equipment suddenly? Or a small error in the beginning and then he decided to just wrap up and bye bye?

    So you ask for TL;DR - while also making assumptions without reading?

    I read all the pages now, still no TLDR... :dizzy:

    I have put some, but some time ago, maybe time for a new one, some other time i am just heading to bed.

    I wonder what's it like for those "3000" clients/customers, considering that no updates have been sent out via mail and only a fraction of those are actually part of this community, even then with no useful update.

    On top of that, their tickets have also been deleted/purged, or will be, if it hasn't already and that they are required to re-open them should they want their services to be re-provisioned.

    Out of 3000 clients, only 400 VPSs can be re-provisioned, leaving 2600 clients "homeless".

    IMHO, now would be the best time to be transparent.

    That "3000" clients is a humbug. Maybe it is 300 at most. It is unverifiable number and should be taken with a massive grain of salt.

    Today is a Monday, so prepare your popcorn, as "refunds should be rollin".

    I mean it's true isn't it mate?

    Says 3000 clients impacted but only providing brief/vague updates on this forum as if all 3000 are actually registered here.
