    Or just not post it?

    Ikoula Cloud Hosting Review

    I have seen no such issues with my own blog posts, and frankly Google doesn't really matter that much to begin with. This is a community, not an advertising board.

    You could at least copy the content to the thread, instead of just posting a link.

    Node.js tutoring - €150 for 5 hours, €250 for 10 hours (limited availability)

    I've been doing code review and tutoring for Node.js for some time now, and it's been a while since the last promo - so here's a new one! It doesn't really get any cheaper than this anywhere :) I'll keep it short; this is what's on offer: 5 hours of private tutoring, for €150 (ie. €30/hour)...

    Scudlayer announces a New Affiliate Program

    You're not "reporting". You're advertising. Those are two fundamentally different things. Reporting is done by neutral third parties.

    Scudlayer announces a New Affiliate Program

    Have a look at the posters of said threads. As I already said, it's rarely the companies themselves - it's forum users who are reporting on what is happening elsewhere in the industry. Generally in a neutral manner, not a glossy 'press release'. It's not about arguing. It's about not liking...

    Scudlayer announces a New Affiliate Program

    If you had a look at the section you're posting in, you would realize that it is called "Industry News" and not "Press Releases" for a reason. This section is used for news about the industry, not generally posted by the company itself, and definitely not thinly disguised advertisements. This...

    Scudlayer announces a New Affiliate Program

    Meh. Hardly "Industry News", more advertising. Also, a rebranding (from Nexeb) within a year?

    another update another broken link

    Custom-developed forum software is starting to look more and more attractive.

    vpsboard software getting even more annoying

    That's not a hard one to answer: hype. Making everything "mobile first" and looking like Facebook is a great way to market and sell your product, even if the end result is utterly unusable. There's a reason that "building the next Facebook" is a running gag on freelancing sites.

    vpsboard software getting even more annoying

    I honestly can't stand the new "Unread content" view. Complete information overload. Near impossible to keep track of what I've looked at, and what interests me.

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Can we have our "New content" back? The current "Unread content" thing is hell to navigate, and bad enough to make me just not bother at all... Some on IRC also complained about it, and I can imagine this causing a serious drop in activity.

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    If something goes wrong, you enforce your contract. In most of the Western world, this is a responsibility of the legal system, and not of the payment processor.

    Stripe, get a clue. Your chargeback system sucks

    I think you misunderstand. In eg. Germany or the Netherlands, it can be perfectly reasonable for a company to not process CCs, and only accept SEPA transfers (and maybe PayPal as an addition). This does not make them somehow "not professional" - expectations vary by country. Credit cards are not...

    Hong Kong VPS or Dedicated Server

    Do you happen to know what their exact facilities are? Datacenter/facility name and actual city, basically. Lots of providers advertise with "the biggest city nearby", so I'm a bit wary adding providers without having that information first.

    Hong Kong VPS or Dedicated Server

    Have a look at this list ;) Only one provider for HK right now, though.

    CBTNuggets has some great stuff. Followed some of their 'video courses' for Cisco preparation, and they're very easy to understand.

    Programming Language

    I'd very much recommend Node.js. Very easy to pick up (especially if you already know JS), generally decent documentation all around the ecosystem, package management that doesn't get in your way. Especially when wanting to learn something new (and gain a different perspective to solving...

    Scopehosts.com - 50% Discount on Offshore VPS, Openvz VPS - Russia 100Mbps VPS Hosting

    Is the UNLIMITED50 promo code recurring, or only for the first billing cycle?

    WebSound > FREE DDoS Protection > Las Vegas > KVM VPS > Virtualizor > 20 OFF!

    Looks better now, yeah - 240MB/sec :) I'll make a ticket if it reoccurs. Curious about the IRC policy, though. Is there a particular reason that you disallow (non-malicious) clients/bots?
