...@Francisco: He probably did not misread the data whatsoever. The data that he has is probably several IP addresses that I've used to sign into LowEndTalk, most likely all from a certain ISP called Telus Communications (which provides the IP addresses for both Telus Mobility and Koodo Mobile here in Canada), and probably certain same IP addresses with this guy that runs HostNun.

The IP addresses are shared and not geolocated for a specific province in Canada, so Mr. Kossen probably saw Dorval, QC and a few other places in Quebec and assumed based on that, the I was HostNun...

I just wanted to chime in as a Canadian Telus user, it's been my experience that my IP address does not change often, even upon router reboots (I've had 3 IPs in the past 30 months) and that the IPs are geolocated reasonably (at least in BC).

[Edit] I've gone back and checked, all 3 IP addresses that I've had have all been Geolocated in BC, in my city:

Same old story with the IP Addresses, i lol with all these stories that Jonny and his crew are making up. Good job though, i got my dose of entertainment today Jonny should make all these stories into a book it would sell big time!

Edit i forgot: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

[HalfEatenPie]

So...  how is Jonny going to finance that office and that "luxurious furniture" now that he's banned from his "biggest market"? 

#WINNING? 

Ok besides for my dick-ish comment, I'm not surprised this happened.  I'm pretty sure GVH Jon would be involved in something like this.  You can tell from his previous actions he's either mentally unstable or a total attention whore (the entire "I'm going to kill myself" comment from him).  In addition, more and more recently he's had this complex to "show" how great his company(ies?) doing.  Like seriously, posting screenshots of their WHMCS?  Saying "hay guys we buying office nao"?  Sorry to say buddy, but buying an office isn't that big of a deal.  Haha in Jr. High we (a bunch of Jr. High schoolers) rented an office for our online radio station through funds we were able to raise (Mostly non-profit grants and whatnot).  It's nothing too "special" nor is it really a "social status" that you're trying to make it seem like.  An office is to expedite work, make sure you have the capacity (and space) to accomplish your job in an effective manner.  Buying it just because you want it is probably the stupidest move ever.  

Honestly, this was a good laugh.  I apologize for those who thinks I'm being a total dick about this comment, but it was long overdue (GVH Jon was one of few people who constantly tried to be on familiar terms with me and call me by my first name).

If anyone has any additional information, it would be much appreciated if you could pass it along.

Feel free to private message me on WHT, open a ticket there (send me the info, so I can make sure it gets seen), or send me a private message here.

What are you looking for?

 

[Steven F]

What are you looking for?

Actual proof, evidence, or something concrete. Not just he-said-she-said.

 

[HalfEatenPie]

What are you looking for?

Just for clarification (I don't know if you know or not) but @Steven F is on staff at WHT as a Community Liaison.  

Honestly @Steven F, I'd just contact @mpkossen and ask him to review his research and/or sources.

Trying to, but I don't know the best way to contact him.

 

[qrwteyrutiyoup]

Maybe wait a few hours? It's like 4am in the Netherlands now (he's from there, no?)

 

[HalfEatenPie]

Trying to, but I don't know the best way to contact him.

Maybe PM here or LET?  

Also, like what @qrwteyrutiyoup said (and like standard support ticket), give it at least 24 hours.

Perfect.  That'll give Steven F a few hours to really get Maarten's attention.

Download this IP Board auto poster script from Sourceforge.  Set up a cron at 5 minute intervals for it to post "@ mpkossen" to VPSB.  He'll wake up to 50-60 notification emails from VPSB.  That'll get his attention.

[note: if this method pisses MPK off, I'll deny making this post and just say my VPSB account was hacked and the hacker's mobile provider assigned him the same IP I usually use]

network:ID:9131900760913984722.216.232.0.0/16
network:Auth-Area:216.232.0.0/16

Telus has 5.3 million IPs (http://bgp.he.net/AS852#_prefixes.)  I'll let someone else figure out the odds of 2 members of the same forum being assigned the same IP within a short time period.

 

[MannDude]

For what it's worth, HN-Matt and Gallaeaho are both members here, I can confirm that they use the same Canadian ISP and that I have not personally seen a match between any of their IPs.

Also, one member seems to be in the middle of the country and one more eastern, at least according to the geo-data of the IPs they use. Also, IPB shows the IP used as well as the number of how many times it was used to login to an account, so some of these have been used many many times without changing.

 

[drmike]

Plot twist:

Maybe HN-Matt and Gallaeaho are a thing... You know cohabitating, a couple, love birds....

I'd hope Kossen would tell the world just ONE THING, ONE THING:

1.  The shared IP, what was the time/date range between the two uses?

 

[raindog308]

I recall when GVH was hacked or had some kind of serious outage that Jon was posting about suicide on LET - got to the point that someone called the local police who came out to talk to him.  Wasn't that just earlier this year?

That was before the the Jaroslav fake personality escapade.

I imagine if Jon suffered a permanent ban from LET that would elicit a similar emotional crisis.

I suspect it's all just going to be knocked down to a timeout.

It was like 2 months ago I think? The suicide thing was the finale to the "new CEO" story arc.

He never had intentions of ever doing that, people need to realize this. No one is going to think "i'm going to kill myself with this butter knife" just because some people called them out for being manipulative.

That shit isn't a game nor should it be allowed to be a cop-out. Many people have serious mental issues and they see that as a legit solution to it, not "someone ddos'd my site and I don't know how to follow the 5 steps to securing WHMCS! Let me off myself!".

I wouldn't bust the guys chops nearly as hard if it was just him being silly with press releases, random hirings/firings/etc, but when you start the suicide crap that's some seriously scumbag shit.

[drmike]

As always, with these kid hosts --- WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS?

I mean the fellow running the GVH circus sideshow isn't even allowed to view my torrented porn pics...  nor has the staff historically been legally of age to not run afoul of community norms and standards about such.

Running any hosting business exposes you to a multitude of ADULT matters, sexuality, crime, fraud, etc.

When Jonny finally goes and  hurts himself or something very wrong happens I'll be asking for the head of Lance Jessurun.  He's the adult CEO owner of GreenValueHost.

 

[drmike]

The internet whispered in my ear....

Hostnun is GVH's alterego....  Alternet identity.

Add that to the list of possibilities.

 

[ftpitnipon]

Hostnun and the other guy both have been unbanned as marteen told in cess pit
