I don't see having an opinion as a lack of ability.  To flip that on you, it's generally a bad idea to base rulemaking on lack of accountability and a general sense of entitlement.

[CITATION NEEDED] 

The hostmaster email is required for SOA.  Rather than use your personal account (or using fake emails), just use a legitimate account created for handling your domains.  That way you still get any important notices, and don't risk your personal account going public. 

I love it when a legitimate concern gets bullrushed into a "County X is worse than Country Y, and always at fault" spectacle, and the original topic goes undiscussed.

Hah, yup, exactly. Doing backend stuff for WHMCS isn't all that bad, they actually have a fairly decent API setup and the DB structure is real easy to get familiar with. I just _HATE_ dealing with Smarty/etc or having to hack together fixes for UI/frontend... especially when I can't even see...

Just while we're waiting on CNServers to bind another /24... we didn't want to risk running out of Filtered IPs and having to either make people wait to get setup or have to issue out refunds. Soon as that gets squared away I'll be restocking :P

Not yet, but it will be. After tonight's launch I'll be getting started on writing support and billing modules for S2.. once all that's finished, we'll be moving away from WHMCS completely.

You missed one bit... Coca-Cola isn't exactly a small company :P  True, I would've had a more difficult time hiring directly into my current position;  but I've seen enough of how our HR operates that I know now I still would've had a decent shot at it based on experience alone.  This tends to...

Yeah, I've gotta admit, when we ask someone what they do with their BuyVM and the response is "Moved our production stuff to it", that gives one hell of a raging ere sense of pride :P

Heh, aye, that's part of it as well.  We almost doubled our node capacity coming to Vegas.. and have added a half-dozen storage nodes, KVM nodes, and a bunch of new OpenVZ nodes since then.  Kinda worried us at first when sales slowed down.. but we've pretty much figured now that this is...

I've always felt that reliability, adaptability, and simple/honest hard work were more important than any certification or 'degree' (I have very little respect for universities.. I see absolutely no reason why I should be forced to pay for a skill I can teach myself).  Every job I've had, I...

For now, unless there are some MAJOR changes (which are pretty much guaranteed not to happen), we don't have any plans to stay with them past our contract expiry.  That's still some time off, so we've not spent much time discussing it in earnest, aside from general grumblings of how displeased...

It's also hard to put a price on some of the 'Corporate Badge' companies (and even WHT STAFF) being downright shady/criminal... and having to balance whether or not you want to be associated with them based on a WHT 'standard'. 

tl;dr - we had 2gbit with EGI, and learned (the hard way) that they were quietly limiting us to less than half of that.  My suspicion is that they SEVERELY oversell to CN VPNs, mailers, etc; and the rest of the clients have to suffer for it.  For over a year, it simply wasn't worth building any...

This, a thousand times this.  Now that we're out from under EGI's shady limiting, we can actually grow our network (and our deployments).  Now granted, NY stock still remains scarce, primarily because we're not all that willing to put any more hardware with CC.  Thankfully, sales still do fairly...

We drink. A _LOT_ :P Two of us actually.. Anthony (bzImage) and I handle tickets/support/orders. Fran does some support in IRC, and the vast majority of the coding/development/PR. Anthony and I work opposite shifts (I cover from ~6am till 10 or 11pm, he covers from ~noon till 4 or 5am), and...

I've got a timed queue going - almost 13000 active accounts, still have about 4 hours remaining before all the emails are sent >_>

Aaaaand, mass email is currently underway. We'll kick things off at 1800h PST, bring both WHMCS and Stallion1 down into maintenance mode while the deployment is underway.

That was related to his admins taking down WHMCS though, not CPanel, and was just explaining the lack of announcement. Surely the techs could still answer tickets about the CPanel downtime?
