    IRC fuckups - did he really just do that?

    I once saw a fella post his entire (shitty, one mirc script) autotrader into a channel, site names and all. It'd have been mitigated had he set a limit in mirc on the number of lines it'll let you paste at once. Ideally it should confirm with you before letting you paste anything... I don't...

    Specifically what, then?

    Ding! Dong! Santrex is dead!

    Unsurprising, considering what NForce host, and where the company came from. Warez central. Wouldn't surprise me if 50% of their business was P2L.

    why manually approving reverse dns is a good idea

    Right, it's individuals, rather than anything related to the protocol. Those same individuals would attract negative attention if they were running a forum, a game server or anything else. Asking for a reverse dns for a vanity host doesn't imply bad behaviour though. Perhaps you just attract...

    why manually approving reverse dns is a good idea

    What utter nonsense. Why wouldn't you want them on your network? You're happy to give them multiple IPv4s, but you're going to be a snob when you find out what they're using them for? IRC might be a minority interest these days, but plenty of people still use it. If you allow customers to use...

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    Customer service is, and pretty much always has been, crap. The servers, once they're setup, run perfectly. Good fast network, uptime's fine, no complaints. I've been a customer on and off, directly and indirectly for the last few years. This current situation is nonsense though. They made a...

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    I've no idea. I assume they reversed the refund or something. I'm baffled either way. My original order was on 30th July, using the Paypal access card. They refunded that on 4th August, and I saw on forums/twitter that they were refunding Paypal payments, so I ordered via my CC. Then on the...

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    They refunded mine, which I paid for via my Paypal Visa. I read that they were refunding Paypal payments because of resellers, so I assumed that's what the problem was, and re-ordered via a non-Paypal Visa. Then they took the money from my Paypal Visa again for the first order. I might be...

    Meet Martin, the other vpsBoard admin. Ask him stuff.

    I was over a few weeks ago for a gig, and it was just roadworks everywhere. Serious pain in the arse. Still, at least the council haven't done anything stupid like approve an SDL rally mid-Fringe...

    Dedicated server for 3 €

    These are the boxes that've been ten euros a month previously. I've had one for ages, and it's been running very nicely for managing backups, doing a little torrenting and usenet-ing, grabbing stuff from Hulu (via a proxy of course) and all sorts of other stuff. For 3 euros, it seems like a...

    New ICANN rules will require email/phone verification for domain registration

    I'm in the UK, so I can't speak for everywhere but here you can buy prepaid sims (with no calling credit loaded onto them yet) for £1 or even £0.50 sometimes. Get one of those and put it into your phone and you're set to receive calls and SMS messages. That should allow you to do any phone...

    Why do hackers think all LEB hosts are ran by 13 year olds?

    Either the CVPS lot, or the guys who go around buying up other hosts or doing a pump and dump. Rus Foster, Yomura etc.
