Apache?
Not impressed.
Wait, someone hacked GVH? That's low.
We're in the process of rebuilding our billing system, we're going start from a fresh server rather than restoring from backups. SolusVM we are still waiting on Digital Ocean to mount a recovery ISO so we can investigate the cause of that failure and also take a full backup. Once that has been done then we'll set about rebuilding that too.
I really appreciate the lengths the LET community has gone to this evening to protect me and arrange for the police to come to my house. I felt out of control at the time and overwhelmed at the prospect of having our billing and SolusVM systems compromised. The visit helped me put things into perspective and realise where I need to focus my attentions.
I'm getting a blank page right now, which probably means they are restoring from backups at this point.
@GreenValueHost Good Luck.
I don't think we have.

I do now owe you anything. I've just sent you a warning via PM.
I don't think that is how it works. If we really want to delete something we can just delete the whole post. But I don't know what's going on here. I just woke up and am reading everything and cleaning stuff up along the way.
@GreenValueHost Good luck with your business
@mpkossen
TL;DR
GVH basically got exposed for lying about people and their staff member's aliases and a whole load of worms in a can. Then some prick DDoSed them and hacked their WHMCS and SolusVM, they are currently restoring their data as we speak. Oh and Jon threatened suicude and several concerned LET members rightfully notified the police and had them visit him to make sure everything was safe.
The main issue now is that hopefully GVH has its act together and nobody will be planning anything extreme or reckless, only that they will get a fair punishment for the lies and trouble they've been causing from this thread and their choices of action.
Wait, so how the hell is GVH the victim now?
The kid has lied, lied, lied and lied. He deserves to be banned, not given praise and pats on the back.
I was concerned as the post didn't show "Edited", and the quote didn't include the correct styling that the original post listed. Not trying to start any tinfoil hatted conspiracy, just pointing out the two related things.
Also, thanks for the link. I didn't even know that was there.
-- Whoops, double posted somehow --
This time it'll be different, I promise!
Let's wipe that slate clean and give him another chance, guys, he really deserves another chance!
for fuck's sake...
He doesn't deserve having his systems compromised, but he certainly doesn't deserve another chance either. He was doing a great job at ruining his business himself in this very thread with his consistent lies.
Jonny would rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stay on the ground and tell the truth. (As evident from the earlier posts in this thread, before the whole emo stunt that he's done multiple times in the past)
That one hurts my head a little... but whatever. mpkossen has been rather busy lately cleaning up everyone's **** around here. Cut him some slack? Administrative decisions have been, and always will be the word of law for an online community. If we don't like it, we can bring it up privately with the person in question via their ticket system; as he's explained.
He got that from me after posting a movie where he sang the lyrics to a song I posted. Don't know where it is from the top of my head.
Like I have said a lot of times before: we don't ban people for lying. These things lead to undesirable situations and I'd have to ban a lot of people upfront who I know are or were lying.
Rather, these lies are allowed to be exposed and discussed in here. It's what has happened at LET in the past so many times; it's what will happen at LET in the future. Our community is very sharp and good at uncovering these things (give or take a few bad apples) and this will actually help customers in the end while they're searching for a host.
It does that whether we edit it or the user. I do have some sort of a changelog but not everything seems to go in there.
There is two sides to every story. Not everything is as black and white as it is often portrayed. That doesn't mean I'm making excuses for anyone or anything; just saying that we should remember that.
Anyone notice www.greenvaluehost.com is a blank white page?
They are restoring a compromised/hacked system.
Go check the topic you posted earlier. It has all the answers you need. Also, it helps if you read before you post next time. You questions have long been answered.
exactly what I was just think after I posted that.
@mpkossen not everyone do their hw before purchasing, and it's not really customer's fault for not doing hw for purchasing from bad host. Only the customers who suffer, not the host. It's sad to see bad hosts run around freely without any problem.
Why was this thread set to sink earlier today? Why are so many gvh threads set to sink or closed outright ? You say this is a place to inquire yet we are censored so often.
If the customer doesn't do research before purchasing, it is the customer's fault.
Nekki set this thread [ and all the other "Announcement" joke threads ] to sink + closed them earlier. He even posted a joke announcement announcement thread about banning himself [ check the "Announcements" section. ]

Just for the record: I know this thread was set to sink shortly after it was initially posted. I unsunk it right after. I don't know what happened after that. I asked all my staff last night not to sink it.
I guess it doesn't help that you purge a lot of useful research material for potential customers from this forum then...
Ah, that may have been it then that sunk it after I had unsunk it.

Lies! There's no "edited 9:46PM" </jokes>
Alternatively, this would be an example of the previous thing I quoted.
