I only had a node in each location (Buffalo,Chicago and Dallas) and I got posted whenever I submitted an offer.

That's because you annoyed the hell out of me until I did it.
I was never biased towards CC or non-CC hosts in-fact I tried my best to get the best offers out, try it now, I'm sure it'll take a lot longer unless someone is looking and wants to try 'prove a point' that they don't favour their own brands/customers. Some people even offered me money to post their offers, of course I didn't take it but still.

Not to be taken seriously, ever!
Jack can be annoying at times.That's because you annoyed the hell out of me until I did it.
but nothing compared to other providers which actually dropped their brand when got told to shut up and that his offer wouldn't be posted because of the constant emails. Thats the way it was and should be.
I think I visited LEB 3-4 times in the same amount of months and all was now in December because I posted a question and would see if someone replied.
I have the rss feed now but almost always deletes them without reading.

Ignoring the fact that every other LEB offer is on CC's subpar network (I've tried 4 of their locations and network quality was not what I'd call great), the main reason I've found LEB less useful over the past few months is because there has been a decrease in the number of offers with non-US locations, and offers in "exotic" locations basically stopped when you and Liam left.That's because you annoyed the hell out of me until I did it.

I have picked up some great deals this holiday season but none of them have been from LEB offers (Edis Twitter 35% off CyberMonday promo, XenPower email/Mao 41% off promo, a great 60% off deal on a Pune Xen from LOWENDCRAP.COM, and an 18 euros core2 Quad Q6700,8GB RAM, 2x500GB hdd, from Kimsufi)
Nah, Jack is annoying full stop. Hehe. That was a bit of a joke, but the point was that I did and organized the majority of his offers for some reason or another. Jack was never bad, he's just a bit of a tool, but that's expected of northerners..Jack can be annoying at times.

That's because me and Liam actively searched out providers, the offers that used to come in were total crap. It seems no one's interested in new locations or interesting offers but the most resources. Will be a miracle to have LEB like it used to be one day now. Anyhoow, life goes on..
Nice to see you like uncle's crap too!

I miss talking to Liam.
He's been too busy/disconnected from the 'tubes lately to just chat.
And yes, he went out of his way to find non CC offers, usually having to work with providers to hash out plans to post.
Alas, while he won't admit to it, I feel that may have been his downfall. I know the stress involved in writing must
have been pretty heavy, but the supposed wage they paid him wasn't bad ($1000/m - $2000/m?) for things.
As mentioned, Jack, you got on their asses to get posted and possibly even complained to Jon about it. If you had a writer
that liked you, then you could usually call in some favors and they'd post you whenever you wanted without too much trouble.
As I've said, I know of at least 1 solid provider that has waited 3 months to get posted and at this point he just assumed it'll
never happen.

Ask me the last time I bought from an offer on LET or LEB....
It has been quite a long time. Unsure if I bought a single thing this year from what is posted over there.
The quality of LEB has gone down massively. The offers are utter tripe -- same companies and their "investments" over and over again. The sheer quantity of CC offers is mind numbing. The lack of diverse locations and different sized plans is sad.
Me, I'll buy large disk, but I could careless about 12GB of RAM on a VPS. That sales tactic is purely addressing the naive newish to the industry folks who think they can replace a dedicated server with a VPS. Many people have fallen to such nonsense.
Don't even get me started on the intro editorialization on offers which under the new moderation has dipped to the level of useless. "I can't be expected to research companies". Waaa! Doing such would constitute work and the lads cutting my side paycheck would be butting heads with me regularly... Waa!

Clicking on the order links to make sure the company is still breathing before the offer goes live apparently falls under the 'can't do research' category. There was an offer posted from FrapHost (FiberHub) on Christmas Day. The first thing anyone sees when they click on the order link is:

Second that.
Last time I bought out of LEB was the "KVM2: BLUEVM BIRTHDAY SPECIAL (NY)".
That was in April or May.
If I remeber correctly all other please-take-my-money actions are vpsboard related:
- BlueVM new Zurich location -> vpsboard special
- DotVPS new UK offers -> vpsboard special
- SecureDragon 2nd ip for free -> vpsboard special
- Catalysthost new OpenVZ offer -> vpsboard special
- TacticalVPS new offers -> vpsboard special

The previous one I didn't and I only messaged them to see what the queue was like and if they went pretty small or big... they'd then give a timeline of when i'd likely get posted.
Never spoke to Jon about it until I left CC and said so I guess I'm not allowed to be posted on LEB now due to EOR thing in the past and he never replied but mpkossen still posted my offer.
That's awesome that he posted it still then
I never did hear anything else from EOR.
Wonder how Robby's doing?

LET has a couple of interesting CC-based mo' RAM offers today. 123systems (interesting mainly because he changed his avatar to Aldryic's avatar with an x through it and has a 'nopony' coupon code. 2GB RAM/$30 annually). On the unsustainable side of things, GVH has a $5 monthly 4GB RAM/290GB storage/30TB bandwidth/2 IPs offer (on E3's naturally) and you can get up to a /24 on that VPS if you want it for an additional $0.75 per IP.

Oy! The GVH offer is worthy of facepalming with a hot iron.
4GB of RAM with how much swap ? 30TB of bandwidth This ad reads like a business needing to hurry up and pay their invoices.
123Systems avatar is funny. Nearly a soul over there has a clue of who or what it is about. Smells like Fabozzi.

I have bought one VPS on the last year from there. That company has now "merged" with another company and moved me. I do not "trust" many of the companies on that site anymore since I can not tell who runs them and what not. Plus they all seem to have the same locations. Not sure if this is by design or not, but I am beginning to think it might just be the case.
