Below is the first of a 10 part series of Crunchbits world domination
I grabbed one of the 1.5GB instances and was so impressed with the service that I decided to also get one of the 4.5GB instances as well (not that I really needed it but that's beside the point). I'm still waiting on the newest one to get provisoned but they did provide an update very quickly which was nice.
The Chickens gaining sells hehe
More corporate themed now and out of humble beginnings.
Now beginning to enter fierce competition
The beginning of the battles
Strategic planning hehe
Victory is achieved
Total market domination
Now complete control over web hosting
and finally utopia hehe
I am now again out of GPT-4 uses for a few hours. Those were the best 10 out of like 35 attempts
So worth it. The Chicken Saga brought a tear to my eye.
Now I want a 23Gb service for $13.596
I also like how CB has locked their level one techs into their desks but not providing any chair openings. Smart move.
Oh no the Crunchbits chompupers use CVS in Vietnam!
Seriously tho it'd be hilarious if they took one of these and turned it into a real deal with the image as basically the whole post.
Funny enough, there was something planned already (I'm pretty sure we're going to get in trouble for this one.. but I'm sending it anyways) and these images absolutely align perfectly with this.
Color me intrigued. Gonna do a naughty vday special using one of these pieces now?
All talk no game!
New merch drop!
Also to pending orders: hardware / etc all live and ready--just us having to add a secondary routed ipv6 delegation block and make sure all rDNS features work properly due to some unexpected software limitations, in progress as we speak. Everyone has a confirmed spot/will be pushed by tonight.
BTW how will you be communicating "you can move to PA"? That's like the one thing I meant to ask before buying. I'd be kinda bummed to not have the chance to decide if I want to move or not, by missing the window by missing however it's going to be communicated.
It's going to coincide with a new product availability announcement(and LE* posts) which I hope have a pretty fun video/photo series attached, posted in discord, and the third option which I'm hesitant and unlikely to do: mailing users on the yearly hypervisors only.
While third option is the best coverage, I'm concerned about being "sales/spammy" and we reserve that for true emergencies/notifications that are service impacting.
Hrm. The way that last sentence is phrased, it sounds like it's a pricing change? If it's merely "move your stuff at the same price to a different location", that could indeed be service impacting (in a GOOD way) for a decent portion of your customers. Especially those who don't lurk because they're generally happy and don't have pressing reasons to go seek you out (which I honestly hope is most!).
I like chickens
Not dystopian enough!
your right! one fine chicken you got there.
Here's her cohort! (I suspect we're both burning through many credits on our respective AI platforms!
To be clear: no pricing change at all. Yearly's are yearly's while we have them available. Price at any location will always be the same, or I won't add that location.
I worded it that way because I felt that for the ~80-90% that won't be moving it feels a little bit like a sales-y e-mail, and people didn't sign up or consent for that contact. That being said I do see the potential point of "If you wanted to move..." being service impacting. I wanted to tread lightly and keep that channel specifically only for true service impacting events.
I'll still consider it, just trying to not go down that slippery slope.
I suspect if you're careful in your phrasing, you'll do well by yourself and your customers.
Along the lines of "By the way, you have an option to potentially make your service better for your particular use case, on the same terms as you're already on" isn't sales-y at all, IMHO. Keep the FOMO and other marketing tactics out and stick to the concise Who, What, Where, When, Why, How approach, and I suspect you won't get anyone unhappy with such an announcement.
But in the end, you know best how to do right by yourself and your customers. It'd just be unfortunate if someone ended up displeased from missing the announcement. You do good work at keeping your customers happy, from everything I've seen, and I now have a personal interest in you continuing to do so.
