    There are still good people in this world.

    Might want to be more careful with your words.  The above reflects... poorly.. on your current endeavour.

    There are still good people in this world.

    To be fair, this is the same guy that (multiple times) requested his own ban when he was "leaving for good".. only to resurface a few weeks or a month later. I'm sure we'll see more VPSes from shovehost down the road.

    VPS's .. The dangers of doing business with idiots

    One is still around - but no, I don't break confidentiality.  I spent some time impressing the values of security and caution; hopefully that was enough for them to learn from the mistake.   Honestly, I would've done the same.  I decline doing work for someone if I feel there's a security or...

    VPS's .. The dangers of doing business with idiots

    Common sense, which should be the first line of defence and security, is what I often notice a dearth of.  Way back when, I posted a guide for extended WHMCS login tracking, two people actually PM'd me (unprompted mind, and out of the blue) with the root login credentials of the boxes they were...

    Mt.Gox shuts down, is insolvent

    I wonder what arbitrary excuses will be made to keep BTC up on a pedestal despite messes like this <_<

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    No, you didn't.  I even said the phrase "that's the closest we'll ever get to an apology from you" in the VPSBoard IRC.  Had you actually apologized, I wouldn't be willing to take a few minutes out of my day to remind people of who you really are. You can tell all the stories and claim "you're...

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    When you actually admit that you were wrong to tell Topiary to attack our IP space, and apologize for doing so, I'll consider "burying the topic".  You are nothing but a skid to me, and you STILL try to justify your actions and claim you did no wrong. You straight up encouraged Topiary to...

    Start a summer host!

    Every time a thread like this surfaces, we end up with another mtwiscool that takes it seriously -_-

    Looking for a Pandora alternative.

    There's an option you can enable in Android (developer settings maybe?  I don't recall where it is offhand, and my phone's in the other room >_>).  But what it does it you press and hold the 'Back' button/key, and it force-kills the current app.

    As a customer, would you purchase from a provider that doesn't offer Paypal balance payments?

    You need to add an 'NA' option to the second question, for folks that choose 'No' to the first (IPB requires both to be answered to submit a vote). On topic:  Nope.  As a matter of principle, I tend to strictly limit how many places receive or store my CC information, and use mediums such as...

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    Eh, this is a bit offtopic, but worth bringing up that the difference isn't cultural or idealogical, but Rechthaberei.  It doesn't matter what logic or explanation you give him, he will never admit a fault.  Attempts at reason would just be a waste of your time. Example:  he was - and despite...

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    @MannDude - I've only done a cursory search and not found any results; but perhaps there is something similar in the resources you use for IPB mods - an addon that would give individuals the option to Ignore This Topic as an addition to the Follow This Topic feature.  Would take a few clicks for...

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    Or maybe he's referencing a general aspect of behaviour he's observed, and it's not all about you.

    Looking for a Pandora alternative.

    You don't enable force-kill?  Or am I misunderstanding your intent?

    VPSBoard crosses 50k posts

    And this is different from any other forum in existence how? Instead of bitching just for the sake of being negative, why not make some actual contribution instead of just complaining?  Which begs the question of - if you have nothing good to say about this place, why are you here?

    New forum idea: Water Cooler / Laundry Room for drama threads.

    View New Posts is a wonderful feature.  Some of the drama threads get a quick glance... if I don't find them interesting I don't comment or follow on them.  If there happens to be a thread of relevance, I'm not missing out on it because I didn't have to check section-by-section from it not...

    Feathur - bugs and more bugs.

    If you don't understand linux well enough to be able to debug SSH errors, perhaps you shouldn't be trying to provide hosting services to others in the first place.  Or do you seriously expect to be able to walk in here and get others to spend their time fixing your node when an abuser spikes CPU...

    Looking for a Pandora alternative.

    Was it him though, or an imposter? :P  But seriously - I recently moved away from Pandora myself (I primarily used it just to expand and find new music to acquire - I run a Subsonic streamer for my own devices).  Giving Google Music a try now - it's a little quirky, and the price is a bit...

    Feathur - bugs and more bugs.

    Calling it now - bad permissions.  I'm with fisle on this one - layer8 is the issue.

    First step: Geo database

    Sites such as geoiptool.com.  If you're just running the occasional IP though, most don't mind if you whip up a bash/curl script to do so - just ask them first.
