    FTFY.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    And that's the point that too many people missed. Consider the providers that have weighed in on this issue - pretty much the upstanders with few complaints that don't have to worry about people making legitimate claims about oversell. Conversely, it makes me wonder about the folks that...

    Ticket system e-mails

      Counter-productive.  One of the first things I did when we used Solus was make a filter to delete those annoying login notifications.. your users will do the same.  And then completely in the dark if there is an unauthorized login.  A better idea is having it notify the user when a login is...

    Doesn't mean we work for free.. and no amount of caffeine or liquor is going to make me start believing that we should function as a free, public helpdesk <_<

    We're in the business of selling VPSes - why does everyone keep assuming we exist to do their coding work for them?

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

    On reflection, Rus and Chris would be a great partnership.  Rus creates overnight companies, rents hardware, builds up clients.  Dumps the whole thing to Chris, who absorbs into CVPS/CC.  Rinse, repeat.

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Nope.  You're paying for the resources, use them.  (But if you have 95% random data, don't ask for a migration :P)   tl;dr - it irks me when a host sells a specific amount of resources, then gets annoyed when someone actually wants to use them.  Yes, I realize most folks oversell their OpenVZ...

    Reserving Disk Space you Purchased from the Oversold VPS providers

    Because they paid for the resources.  If you're not prepared for a client to use what you advertised and they paid for, then be less shady with your setup. I'm seeing a whole lot of "it's 'understood' that OVZ is oversold to X extent"... and yet NONE of you actually mention that to clients on...

    Just received this on Skype from Nick @ RamNode

    You are aware that these kids in IRC are either 1) fed plants/informants (1 confirmed), 2) scriptware kiddies, or 3) trolls; with 2 and 3 simply taking advantage of the situation to claim credit for someone else's work?   Even on the REMOTE chance that one of them did the actual damage, it was...

    What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

    Hah ^_^ Well, it'd be 3 on 2 (just Anthony and I since Fran doesn't drink).. but it might still be a good matchup :P Would definitely be a blast to meet you gents and have a good time as well.

    What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

    I love that this is a thing now XD Perhaps play Louie Louie by the Kingsmen.. you'll know folks are getting tipsy when they start singing along :P I do suddenly like the idea of a bunch of VPSB regulars settling in at the same pub for an evening, though.

    What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

    Fixed that for ya. In fact, I think we're already lining up a drinking contest between BuyVM and Catalyst :3

    "Right" to Remain Silent

    That pretty much summed up the whole thing for me =\ Given my own experiences with BoA, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. And now with courts suppressing articles from the Bill of Rights? I don't see myself staying in the US much longer. You missed the point there. Those of us that...

    How do you take your coffee?

    Because in the civilized part of the world we had real coffee.. not this nasty American stuff :P

    What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

    I'll have a glass of whiskey with dinner - I don't mix my drinks though, just straight Jack Daniels. Gentleman Jack is starting to grow on me, though. Black Label for scotch, Ridgemont Reserve for bourbon. I don't drink much vodka anymore, but I prefer Absolut or Столичная. Or, when I'm...

    Potential BlueVM WHMCS Breach

    Wouldn't it make more sense to simply ACL your WHMCS directory, so that your admins could still touch on open tickets (and use the mass mail function)?
