The bolded part of this post which was posted by Mr. O. in the LET cestpit yesterday explains how it is possible to have a 333 MHz CPU speed on a processor where the lowest Intel Speedstep speed is 1200 MHz:
I would like to correct minimum that I have seen is for E3 with 800 MHz,but we always stop the stepspeed and run them at full 3 ghz+

@AThomasHowe what would you like to know?
That's nice of you buy I'm not sure you could explain it. I dunno, I don't really get your branding or anything. I guess it's just not for me. Comes off as a bit too far than satire for me but there we go.

You do work for/own other brands though, right? So is HostNun just your "fun" brand?

So who wants to wager?

CVPS will become GVH's new daddy, I mean owner.  Merger of the McDrama llamas.

Or will GVH die due to inability to offer on LET?

I offer GVH 50 cents per VPS customer or match of whatever < $1 offer per CVPS will tender.

Should we start a betting pool on this?

I got $10 that'll it be before this time next month, probably to CVPS. CC/HVH doesn't seem to be overly thrilled with them. I'd say them being banned on LET was partially an attempt to put Jonny in a corner where he'd have to sell, so my guess is it'll definitely be one of those Buffalo boys.

Question is, will we ever hear about it once it goes through? :p

That's so far past 'hostile takeover' that it swims in the 'mafia protection' pool.

The whole shared IP snafu on LET just stinks of a take down from within.

Biloh can't be thrilled that Jonny smacks Jon's brands of CVPS, BlueVM, 123Systems, etc. and taps those lucrative VPS sales instead of daddy Biloh directly.  CC needs that dirty VPS money as it is more in number and easier than those busted E3 fire sales they regularly sell with no margins.

Plus GVH gets more airtime than a sex tape involving a Hollywood starlet and three rappers.   Egos hate competition, especially in their own house.

We'll know GVH is fanged officially when Biloh writes up the LEB offer for GVH like he has for the other shitola companies he owns.

Your time Jon Biloh is coming.  I promise you that.

I don't work for any other 'brands', no. Host Nun is more of a side project than anything and not my primary source of income, so yeah, I do try to have fun with it if/when I can. Hopefully not at the expense of a stable, reliable service.

As to whether it is or isn't 'satirical', I'll leave that up to you. Different strokes for different folks, etc. I like satire, but I don't think Host Nun has ever been limited to it.


PEPSI?!?!

The minute I was unbanned I made a thread about it called 'Gallaeaho' in the Providers section because I wanted to clear my name. mpkossen locked it right away. I think the accusatory association/conflation is/was completely absurd, insulting even, not to mention potentially damaging reputation-wise... hence the thread.

I don't really understand why they want to stifle dialogue on the matter, especially since it pertains to a banned host. Shouldn't the community be able to speak freely / have a say and decide for themselves?

You know you and I have cross e-swords in past.  But on this I am with you in solidarity.  

The thread you opened was valid and still is.  

LET/LEB isn't known for open dialogue and logical discussion - usually.

Noisy people get greased over there.  The only free part over there is free to spend your money with CC or their direct underlings others beat it bubba.

I was told by 'Nekki' that I 'looked guilty' going on about it in the cest pit after mpkossen locked the thread I made. Strange, wanting to have an open dialogue and creating a means for the community to have their say and interpret events freely makes me look guilty?

Meanwhile they're locking threads, stifling conversation and telling me to stop going on about it... I'm sorry, but doesn't that make 'them' look guilty if anything?

I'm not trying to suggest any kind of GVHist conspiracy on 'their' part (although that would be hilarious), but the level of quasi-silencing groupthink I've encountered so far has been bizarre.

 

Even AnthonySmith told me to 'turn the other cheek' because, like, That's What The Good Book Says. If I remember correctly, the first post that guy made about Host Nun on LET was a complete mockery of religion... but now, when GVH is involved, he's gonna start getting all 'Sermon on the Mount' at me?

Did they at least clear out all of the BS posts?
mpkossen acknowledged his mistake and said he would do that in the near future, I think. So I'm grateful for that.

Still unsure as to why the thread I made needed to be locked, but I guess if no one cares enough to talk about it then *shrug*

I'm happy to speak openly re: what I know and making that thread was my attempt. Other than that, I'm not going to push the matter any further on LET. If people want to do so, I guess they'll find a way. Can't say I didn't try.

I can not speak for them but it seems they want to sweep this up as quickly and as quietly as they can. I was positive that HostNun had nothing to do with GVH. On it's face that was logically inconsistent to begin with. John did not have the maturity nor the skills to any company the way it should have been run from the get go, and to let it go as far as it has is just a slap in the face of everyone in this business.

The whole fiasco, and I use that term instead of disaster because GVH is still alive, is just plain stupid and fraudulent. If anyone at the company had a lick of common sense they would know that what they have done has violated so many laws, not just state but federal ones as well, that they should be about shitting themselves about now.

It was setup to fail from the start and unfortunately the only who might not have seen this was John himself. There is no way a business could run the way that one was and survive. It is just impossible in this day and age.

John had a chance. He could have been a high-volume, low-quality host like CVPS but less abrasive and many more and he could have made good money doing it honestly. There's nothing wrong with some overselling to cut prices if you're clear and rational about it.

The problem is John is fucked in the head and can't stop feeding his ego. He believes any publicity is good publicity. Maybe in 10-15 years John will run a decent business once he's worked under someone and had the stupid slapped out of him but GVHs days are numbered. Maybe not days, weeks or months but I don't see them doing another 24 months.

Yes he has some screws loose no doubt about that all, but I am not sure if the people above him are not to blame as well. They could have ended this long ago and not let it get this far out of hand. Just goes to show people how far some will go chasing that "green god".
