Nop, he didn't edit it.
Oh, you read it out of context then. He quoted another user and was responding to them directly about a change in the rules. GVH is not new nor a startup company so I doubt bear would be referring to them directly and instead was proposing a question to the person he quoted to illustrate that it's not fair to ban all hosts that are new and inexperienced especially since established hosts (like GVH) have major problems and even if they were to do something like that where would the line be drawn for a rule like that.
Hmm. I'll take a look and re-edit my post.
I personally think that the WHT staff should have some say in the memberships, like a review board or something. Unfortunately the WHT staff is hands off of anything that involves money so they are in the same boat as you and I when it comes to that. You're getting mad at the wrong person, bear has as much influence over how memberships are handled as we do.
Well, I just feel like WHT needs to do some type quality insurance on their hosts that have badges. They must be held at a higher standard... GreenValueHostGM for example.. That is just nonsense he can run around on that forum with that type of corporate membership. Just absolutely disgusting how future newbies looking for hosts and find him will be scammed and invest in a lost cause. It's just sad.
I agree, but then they probably wouldn't be bringing in millions of dollars a year if they started getting selective. WHT is a business owned by a corporation so they operate based on their business model which means somebody is getting screwed over at some point, and it won't be the ones sending them a check. I'm not saying they are evil for wanting to make money, but they should at least have some warning for visitors somewhere.
Basically this user took the words out of my mouth: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1484708&page=8&p=9458485#post9458485
100% Agree with him, but it would be so awkward for hosts to have 'Donor or ViP Donor' tags, lol. But yeah, I get your point they are a corporation I guess. Although, I wrote a script for IPXCore a few years ago graphing the online members on WHT.. And they do seem like their forum activity is decreasing now that I look at it as compared to back then.
Stickies are a mega ton more than that
They vary by category. Thousands PER MONTH for VPS.
Paid membership WHT style is:
As retarded as offering DDoS protection services while you embark in packet therapy against such.^^
That might be even funnier than when he was offering managed security hardening services.
Poor customers who get sucked into his latest money making scheme.
Is that so? C'mon man you are the queen of the drama here. You wont let this thread die. You love this. Sometimes I think if you are part of GVH or not? LOL
What about sharing a few screens ?
Sometimes even when you have a mentor role, you have to write some people off as hopeless / unsalvageable.

WHT remains remarkable since it's GVH's sole venue to make a mess / self promote. Mods are doing a creepy lousy job reigning GVH in. Were regular complaints from customers for a long time and replies made to customers that were downright wrong (like often slapping them for their lack of English "apprehension"). Ho hum about that word misuse - his, not mine.
The problem with all of these sites is that you get this BS view of a company as their offer and all the hype. If you want to research you have to use the busted forums search functionality which all of them are nearly useless. Google searching is a bit better - but 4 searches and 10 tabs later, yeah, normal folks aren't doing such in today's ADD 5 second, 140 character society - and sketchy mofos like this know that.
