How temporarily?
Not sure, may seek an alternative. You can still tag people with the

tag. The plugin didn't do much, but I will consider re-adding it after I push out some updates to the site in the near future.  ;)

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 months ago, especially after the Wiki went offline. It was just junk posts. I go read big drama that spills into WHT, but that's it.

Good job, MannDude. :) (Wish I'd have thought of it. :p)

Thanks bud, nice to see you here. I wish I could say I did something great, but in reality I believe vpsBoard was just in the right place at the right time.

I agree @AnthonySmith.   I am shoe horning lots of posts into the general style areas.

We should start a thread on forums folks would like to see.

Oooohhhh, someone put their grumpy pants on.


So windows/gaming vps ( as I wrote ) had nothing to do here?


We already have a bunch of "show me your....." Threads on this boars, why not group rhem together?

We have cest pit and off topic sections :). Not being grumpy but too many section makes me simply not want to read anything. Vps related topics sounds cool but tbh, shared hosting/reseller etc doesn't really mold in. I can see usage of Dedicated server offers but the rest, look at wht. They even have gardening section >_<

I've had a dormant project I've been wanting to start for a long time - thehostinglounge.com.  I've had a word with Curtis to see if he wants to setup some kind of partnership between the 2, to keep things separate - haven't heard anything back yet.

If anyone is interested in helping out, shoot me a PM.

Kinda thinking that users/admins need to shape the site, not providers.  Of course some providers don't want additional diversity - this just leads to more competition (and a growing awareness of the futility of 'low end').

I like the branching out idea.  Bring in more people, allow for more varied discussions.  Dispose of the silly notion that this is just 'some LE* clone'.  Would be pretty nice to bring in some more folks that have higher aspirations than just running Solus and claiming a piece of an already very oversaturated pie.

Next time I am getting you and fran drank and gonna steal stallion. After that you can't call me solus host. 

Btw, Shared hosting is just the same, install cpanel and you are a "Cd/home"  ;)

I guess my reason for logic bombing above was this: I like the atmosphere here, but short of replying to some controversy or giving a thumbs up on an offer I dont see much general community cope, general is fine I suppose, but why not expand it a bit, maybe even just 1 more section, if it fails them fine, take it away again :)

I guess what I mean is I come I read maybe comment, wish there was a bit more and move on. gaming section might be nice, an ask me anything section, a windows specific section or a code section, I don't know just spit balling :)

With more subforums I see that we invite other people then the "regulars" perhaps even a few that will return after reading one or two topics they were looking for right there and then.


I see no harm in adding more sub-forums, get things rolling.


Myself, I use the "read new content" link, so I don't really see all sub-forums unless I start a thread.
