30 minutes after creation and I'm still waiting for an IP address to be assigned so the only access I have is through the control panel console (their website is slow so it's hard to tell whether the VM itself is responsive or not... )
What problem? Oh do you mean the little problem that 59% of ColoCrossing's IPs (426K of 724K) are now blacklisted by Spamhaus?, including 3 entire /15's :P
Your email provider is probably blocking email sent from LowEndTalk's dirty IPs . The site's 2 mx record IPs 23.94.24.50 and 23.94.24.51 have been on a Spamhaus SBL since May 5th (that 23.94.0.0/15 range has had 139 SBL listings in the past 9 months).

A. the irony of someone who runs a hacker forum filing a DMCA
B. word of advice to Crissic. It's probably better not to publicly discuss your reasons for not hiring someone. Check the labor laws in your state. I know in New York if I publicly posted "I didn't hire John Doe for these...

word of advice: avoid the deals with the 1.5TB Seagate HD's that are on their last legs and go for the ones with newer 2GB or 3GB drives. They do offer a 14 day money back guarantee though if you get a dud.
I've been lucky and haven't experienced any packet loss recently (current servers in...
Not true at all, according to a post on LET Chris is handling 123 PayPal disputes as fast as they come in (Chris>123's PayPal where have I heard this before...oh yeah, Chris>UGVPS PayPal).

If the email service is run by an American person/company it's subject to U.S. laws even if the hosting is done outside the U.S. tl;dr the US government could make your life a living hell if you try to resist their requests
On the positive side: the number of ColoCrossing Spamhaus SBL's is half of what it was a few days ago (29 vs 58) because a bunch of /32 and /31 SBL's were removed.
On the negative side: ColoCrossing is still #1 on Cisco's SenderBase (in terms of number of spamming domains) and despite the drop...
