    GreenValueHost becoming ColoCrossing, dumping providers, etc.

    You don't have to care if you don't want to and I'm not getting on some high horse and demanding everyone else should care about his wellbeing either, but I feel like the least people can do is bite their tongue and say nothing rather than contribute with insults about how he is just an immature...

    GreenValueHost becoming ColoCrossing, dumping providers, etc.

    I think so too-- especially when he said "Please don't call the police"-- but there's always the chance that the things being said to him could tip the balance and cause him to contemplate it for real. There were certain comments on that thread in response to him that were quite frankly as bad...

    What else does everyone do?

    I'm a licensed RN.

    GreenValueHost becoming ColoCrossing, dumping providers, etc.

    So have I, but it doesn't mean I won't take the next person or claim seriously just because the last one was fake. They can enjoy as many police visits as necessary until they clean up their act or get some serious help.

    GreenValueHost becoming ColoCrossing, dumping providers, etc.

    I hate to be blunt but it can be his 9827423423th time for all I care and I'll still take it seriously. Would I doubt his commitment to actually going through with his threat? Would I be angry that he's making light of such a serious issue again in order to manipulate people's feelings? Hell...

    I called the police department, apparently someone else has too and they've dispatched somebody to check.

    GreenValueHost becoming ColoCrossing, dumping providers, etc.

    I don't care how many times he's threatened suicide in the past. That doesn't mean his next threat is not real, and if nothing else I hope this will teach him a lesson to not fucking treat suicide like a joke or a tool to get what you want.

    Go to his profile, click on his "Thanked" history. That was how I accidentally saw it.

    How does one go from being a freebie VPS taker named Tyler to posing as staff member Alan from another company and now Jaroslav the newly appointed CEO for GVH?

    GreenValueHost becoming ColoCrossing, dumping providers, etc.

    And in addition to all that, one more twist-- a comment on a post that is locked from the public but a snippet of which can be seen in the comment history of each account: So. Who's Tyler, and why all the secrecy with multiple aliases?

    GreenValueHost becoming ColoCrossing, dumping providers, etc.

    I don't think there's any doubt about that, especially given all the recent activity in this thread the past day or two before this sudden announcement.  What I'm curious to see is whether Jon will bide his time and climb back up through the ranks or eventually take a quiet exit now that he's...

    GreenValueHost becoming ColoCrossing, dumping providers, etc.

    I'm genuinely sad to see him go. He lasted less than a month (on LET, at least) and he pretty much only ever offered canned "Sorry to hear that, please submit a ticket/PM me the ticket # and I will follow up!" responses to people who were having issues or were generally displeased with the...

    GreenValueHost becoming ColoCrossing, dumping providers, etc.

    Whether it was intentional or not, the distancing from CC only to go back to them after a few months almost sounds like a bait-and-switch tactic to me-- especially considering quite a few people signed up precisely because Jon kept stressing that most of their locations were no longer with CC.

    Thoughts on ZenMate?

    I was just telling a friend that I had bought a VPN service (VPN.sh's recent special, to be exact) to mostly stream Netflix at the moment when she asked me why I wasn't using a free service like ZenMate. It's apparently a recent startup to offer VPN-like browser security and is currently free at...

    What other forums to do you regularly visit?

    Strictly forums? Then probably LET and WHT (though I only visit that about once a day unless something huge is going down, like the BurstNET fiasco). I also frequent a few Chinese fan forums, though I wouldn't go so far as to say I follow them obsessively. Otherwise, I follow several English...

    HudsonValleyHost Spamming the Helpdesk

    Speaking for myself only, I would rather see my provider opting to have thousands of IP addresses lying around than to see them handing out free IPs with no justification required and subsequently putting my own IP(s) at risk of getting blacklisted when people inevitably take advantage of the...

    Analysis of LowendBox Offer Tags

    I wasn't thinking of bias-detection so much as a comparison of the locations being offered and seeing how it might differ if at all. I think the code sounds neat but I wouldn't consider it valuable information -- there are far too many variables that skew/influence the data for it to truly be...

    Analysis of LowendBox Offer Tags

    Would it be possible to apply something similar to vpsBoard/Daily Server Deals to see how the list ends up? Granted, I think repeat postings would also play a part in influencing the numbers (since the code doesn't seem to exclude repeats by the same provider if I understood correctly...

    A note about "Verified Providers"

    I don't think simply linking to reviews on vpsBoard in their profile or using ratios would work. There are many providers with little to no reviews to their names which still makes it hard to decide whether to trust them or not, and even a single positive review could theoretically earn someone...

    i want to provide $1 per year vps's

    Honest question here: If your target demographic is the poor people in India, what makes you think they're able to afford online payments, let alone bitcoins? Even if they are able to make payments online, how will they get their hands on those bitcoins? Won't it make more sense to offer your...
