    Ad pulled from LEB --- SeFlow – €24/month 16GB RAM i5 CPU in Milan, Italy

    Anyone notice the Italy based dedicated servers from SeFlow on Lowendbox? Yes, pretty low pricing and DDoS protection included. The offer went bye-bye though. What gives? Is this the new way to handle posts on LEB?  Make the offer, get some sales, then have it deleted? High strangeness.
