Probably a good thing for my wallet. Now that the offers have tanked, I don't have FOMO and I'm not going to buy more services I'll just idle.
Always see the good in the bad situation.. Yeah
VM officially butchered the hype in this thread with the current flashes, in response, I say it's time to butcher the dancing buffalo in this thread.
; )
After seeing @yoursunny comment on the servers sold, and thinking about the lack of the need to F5 this thread to get flash deals, maybe it was not as bad as I though. I wonder how may of the RN and BF thread views were people just F5'ing to get flash deals or ' The next 5 comments' giveaways. There was no reason to do that here because of @FAT32 's tracker.
All of you who said quality is important are right. I like VirMach because they have surprisingly good uptime and network constancy. Their customer service may be lacking at times, but I rarely need to ticket for anything. They have always been a good value for me over the years that I have used them. Which is why I supported them, and the members that were having issues, in this thread. Well it was still fun for me as a change of pace, as I normally do not do this kind of thing, no matter how the numbers came out.
I hope VirMach has a great finish planned for this BF thread, and wishing you all many Ryzens in your future.
It looks like the deals aren't as great when VirBot is allowed to think for itself

I always wanted to propose to LET management to banned/stop giveaways during sale seasons. This will encourage the providers to compete fairly with good deals and better service, instead.
Otherwise we will continue to see a decline in quality of offers in promotional seasons.
Beside the unnecessary f5 heavy loads to the website that these giveaways bring with them.
These are some throwback offers....

VirBot is just setting you up to miss those really great deals at the end.
Okay let's try 20GB minimum, not 10GB and make the first 10GB "free."
I'm with you on the contribution of those who won big. some of them disappeared... probably into the pinkdaddy side of the site typing silly hashtags to win $5 top off.
on the other hand, there's a fundamental difference in the approach of VirMach and pinkdaddy... with pinkdaddy, it felt like a long con (not saying it's a con, just felt like that. after all I have 6 vps servers with them from last black friday) with instigation and other stuff. He pops in and ask... what should we do next.... give away or flash sale.... then you get like two-three pages of nonsense.....give away, then 5 pages of double my bandwidth nonsense.
Going to roll for prizes now.
🙄
Waiting for more ram cpu 🤗 something like 10 vcpu 10 gb ram 100 gd ssd 100$ around
Let's see who will win
Good luck everyone
Awesome
Maybe one day when we're not several months behind on everything. This sale/event almost didn't happen and was very last minute, as usual.
It's also not always about marketing for us. It was difficult enough doing this sale the way we did it because of the gimmicks but we still tried to make them fun. We could do what other(s) are doing but we consider that to be a cheap trick and it gets very spammy very quickly. We've only done that ironically so far and that's probably as far as it'll go.
It's not about the money at this point. Highly qualified people are more difficult to come by and turnover rates are all over the place right now.
The ticket queue is much better than it was previous years, even when we had more staff back then. There were just some badly timed events that caused a huge influx in tickets unrelated to the special itself. We weren't prepared for (web) VNC to break on all services for multiple days and our shared node to have an outage. Those are both events that generate a lot of random mix of tickets and it was just a badly timed coincidence. A few other things here and there but it was mainly those events I recall.
Without that, we would have been fine.
who said so?
prove me wrong
i have the next hour to trigger on deals i dont need.
