    [Confirmed] GreenValueHost being sold to XFuseSolutions

    I never understand this either. Let a competitor die off, and gain new customers due to their death. I never understand why anybody in their right mind would buy a failing company. The main issue with GVH is the pricing is/was unsustainable, and that fact will not change if the old price is...

    Digital Ocean gets $50 Million Credit Line

    EIG is dumb enoughto buy it. It would fit the EIG MO, too -- DO lies about it being a "cloud". It's not. EIG lies all the time.

    Proposed updates to rules -- A discussion

    It's very possible to write a plugin that only counts posts with X characters to count at all, for the newbie user group. You can also code it directly into core (and that would be easier). I've never done it, but considered it myself years ago on a vB site.

    ioping - 10 vs 25?

    Which is better and why? # ioping . -c 10 # ioping . -c 25 I prefer the sustained test of 25. I think the 10 is too brief to be accurate. But is ioping possibly causing it to be slower (less accurate tests) beyond 10? Opinions? Aside: I do think it's good to use both it and dd together...

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    Now that the LEB/LET dirty laundy has aired, I support this site even more. :) It's no WHT, but it can and should displace LET given time. Most of that was noise anyway. This board has class and doesn't (yet?) attract the riff-raff, kiddies, and outright scammers. I quit going to LEB/LET...

    Providers that need reviews

    I don't think some folks know what all is inolved with a quality review of a host. In my opinion, it should take at least a year of constant monitoring, and with running production sites. Or at very least, dev sites. (Sometimes dev sites are more stressful than active sites. No caching, etc.)...

    Do you send abuse emails?

    I send them for spam, but rarely hear back. Same for WHMCS license check.
