    @ralf said: most of which had already been paid and issuing partial refunds for $2 would be a real pain in the ass for him

    I don't think we are asking for refund, it is just $2/yr reduction on upcoming / future invoices. In my opinion, cash flow is important for the company and 2 x $50 = $100 cash is more important/valuable than what I proposed. 10 x $2 reduction means I/we trust the company can lasts for at least 5 years which then only it is "break-even".

    Oh yeah, I forgot how where it came from.

    Also my bad, I might have misinterpreted things - I thought everyone except Sara had already paid and the $2 was a retrospective change. So yeah, it's less hassle to just change the invoices in that case.

    How you name your server anyways? My current suffix is <random name>.xxx.xx for memoriable, but now i have too much and im out of names now :D . Not to mention that 75% of idle i got from BF/CM/CHRISTMAS/NY doesnt even have a name

    [loc]-[provider]-[number]

    Example:

    ams-naranjatech-04

    I'm similar, but opposite - provider-location-number, e.g. inc-ldn-1 and inc-ldn-2 and I use these names for the VPS/dedi.

    I'm actually thinking about dropping the number, because I've only ever had 3 providers where I've had more than one machine in a given location.

    I normally run with an additional layer of VMs, and I name these as function-provider or function-location, e.g. dns-hyb, haproxy-hyb etc.

    Previously, I had names on a theme, but the problem was that while I could remember the individual names, I could never remember which one was which. I think this kind of thematic naming works best for a roomful of machines.

    I have settled for location+no.pop.domain.tld

    So like; nl-ams03.pop.domain.tld> @ralf said:

    Honestly I’ll stop begging @SilverCreek now as well, feels like I’m getting played.

    Might create a ticket as a last try though.

    I actually feel a bit sorry for the situation he's got into by agreeing to the discount. Everyone already had insanely good deals, e.g. $5/y, $7/y, $12/y and felt really good about them.

    He offered a really generous gift to @FAT32 to apologise for something or rather, and being the generous kind that @FAT32 is suggested sharing it with others, and within seconds that had become 10x $2, which he (probably stupidly) agreed to in the heat of the moment because so much was going on the the thread at that time.

    I know he agreed, but I think he should have just said no. Even from a practical POV, manually editing those invoices again, most of which had already been paid and issuing partial refunds for $2 would be a real pain in the ass for him. And now, all the goodwill he built up by all the cool deals he made are soured because of it.

    I know we were also dicked around by the stupid code puzzle, but I don't think that was malicious. I think he saw the massive level of engagement the other puzzle got (was it Onidel? it was all happening while I was on a 4 hour drive, so I missed it all), probably thought "I know a bit of coding, how hard can it be to obfuscate a code?" and didn't realise that the operations he was doing to "encrypt" the code made no logical sense from a codebreaking perspective. Coupled with going AWOL for most of the holidays, presumably due to family obligations, that code just turned into a disaster. I was annoyed with it because I wanted the mental challenge, not that I even cared about the deal itself - and let's face it there were dozens of us, wasting multiple hours for a code that we knew was single use even if we ever solved it. Rationally we should all have stopped trying after 5 minutes.

    The service itself is still good value for the original deal prices. As long as the company doesn't deadpool because from the number of deals they gave away at below cost, I think we've all got decent deals even without this stupid $2 thing.

    I don't think they'll go bellyup anytime soon, and those servers will probably be fine for years to come.

    Do I trust them though? No.

    @FAT32 said: Heck, I have this one VPS I am preparing to cancel now but I am spending a lot of time trying to convince myself to cancel it because it gets a little bit too expensive to run.

    Guys we need to start a crowfunding pool for FAT32, he is getting out of the addiction with sane reasoning.
