    UPDATE:

    Exit scam confirmed. Teracast's rack is entirely emptied by Wiggy.

    Never trust Wiggy/Colten. Can @wiggy get banned by the mods please.

    Hi guys, this is Cam, Founder of a company titled Codature. This is an old LET account I had for an old company that Teracast acquired last year, and it's all I have for this site currently.

    We are 2 racks down from Teracast and are working with both Samuel (Ops Manager of TC) as well as iM-Critical Staff (Namely Rodrigo) in Miami to move all colo clients to us. I believe all Miami Colo clients are in contact with me already, but if you aren't feel free to reach out.

  • AltivoxNetworksAltivoxNetworks Member, Patron Provider

    Also to elaborate on certain things, not sure how pictures I have are being surfaced online by people I don't know. The second picture is not an accurate depiction of Teracast's racks and equipment. All Colocation client gear was left behind. Colten removed all of TC's owned equipment, including cabling, network appliances and servers. Anything owned by a third party in their rack (IE, Customers) was left behind. Whilst they exited for sure, they were decent enough to leave behind client owned equipment.

    If you're on discord feel free to dm @codaturecam or email: [email protected] and we can talk if you're a Miami client, otherwise I know a few people who can hook you up in either NYC or Chicago

    There isn't much buzz about Teracast here, so the casualty figures are low. Not exactly popcorn-worthy drama by LET's standards.

    So these are the mysterious friends of Billy Bob, eh?

    Too late. I've already moved all my servers to GoodLeaf.

    Jeez, i sure hope you know that you aren't really doing yourself a favor (outside of client acquisition maybe) by associating yourself with that shitshow in any shape or form.

    +1, Cam's previous company (Altivox, which as he said was bought by Teracast) was also billed $5,000 due to port scanning to some university who filed 46 abuse reports to Cogent (they used Cogent for IPs at the time, afaik/from what I recall)

    Not too long after they sold out to Teracast 🍿

    For real. Openly associating yourself with this shit show is a bad idea.

    I never even heard of them. Somehow, I feel like Discord hosts are on an even lower rung than summerhosts.

    **I would recommend everyone to backup their data in-case. **

    I get maybe increasing your backup frequency (depending how often your data changes) in these situations but if you weren't regularly backing things up, do you actually care about that data?

    Yea, they sold to Teracast shortly after, just mentioning since Cam started a host, got billed $5k for not reading his contract from what I heard, sold it off to Teracast, started a new host, and is now trying to get Teracast customers to move to him due to them exitscamming if I'm reading correctly

    Sometimes i think this isn't about hosting at all but really just a form of modern concept art.

    Of course.
    They all know each other from a few years ago, back when they were 12-year-old Minecraft hosting CEOs.
    Most of them even cooperated at some point, and every now and then, all those teenage CEOs, with a combined 9950 years of experience in the hosting industry, come to LET to fight their epic battles of accusations and other random crap.
    Usually a lot of names thrown around left and right, but overall it's very low quality drama, even by LET standards.

    I can confirm that I’m in contact with someone currently using their colocation service, and they are becoming increasingly concerned about the current condition of their servers. At this time, neither Patrick nor Wiggy have responded to Discord DMs or WHMCS tickets.

    Have you tried asking Herbert?

    Who is Herbert?

    He's the friend of Cletus. Probably your best option right now. Otherwise try asking Cletus directly or ping Donald.

    If no luck with Herbert, Cletus or Donald you can always escalate to Mr. Burns.

    No, he's no longer involved and got replaced by Winston. Not exactly fair if you ask me but him having a last name freaked people the fuck out.

    Agreed, definitely not fair given how much work Smithers put in. OP, I think we've landed on a possible resolution.

    If you can't get Patrick nor Wiggy, try Herbert, Cletus then Donald. If no luck with those idiots try Mr. Burns as he may still have some influence. Failing that, try Winston and then Smithers.

    If that fails I'm sure @totally_not_banned and I can help you with some additional contacts.

    I thought Tony was in charge these days?

    Tony the janitor receptionist??? He's the worst, that guy never lets anyone get near the heavy hitters.

    You guys seem to know all the big guns there, I was never able to get past Tony. I even tried to bribe him once.

    Did you try to bribe him with money? He hates that. What you have to do is keep bringing him plates of spaghetti until he gets to know you better.

    If only I had known that earlier...

    really need to reach to wiggy the CEO or one of the other big guns there. It's URGENT!!!

    I previously had a server purchased from them (plasmarack) and my experience was very bad, I saw many red flags and ran away from there when I can. I wasn't wrong i see.

    Which were them?
