^--- that's funny. Been a long history about who and what vpsBoard is / came to be / etc. If you are new, lots of catching up to do.
Curtis owns, runs, babysits and copes with vpsBoard....
BuyVM is a provider like all the rest here. BuyVM however is used to host parts of vpsBoard.

We pay full price on our ad spot and had to contend for it just like the rest. The only reason we got it and others didn't is that we replied to the sales emails w/ payment faster than others Curtis ran the site for quite a few months before the LE* civil war.Curtis is a client like the rest.
As for us, we don't take part in LE past my few replies here/there. We don't promote ourselves really past an announcement once a year maybe. We run no promo's/sales threads nor do we take part in much coupon pushing. Infact, the only coupon we've ever run was for DailyServerDeals.
Like it or not LE's an easy market to manipulate to place high in polls....but i'll leave it at that
Francisco
Yeah he bought the domain from an auction and setup a forum. That hack definitely contributed to a lot of LE whining.
You want every one to believe this?
I may not be experienced, but I got it right (poor drmike even nearing 5000 posts, couldn't figure it out
anyhow, congrats on your 5000)I was not talking about participation in LE*, but about who is running vpsB.
"Francisco" has 1684 posts (domain owner of buyvm)
"Aldryic C'boas" has 1697 posts
both have buyvm signature (this is not promoting, all should understand this
)both joined early 2013 (probably just after vpbB launch)
I am not complaining here, why hide behind?
But, if you decided to hide, you shouldn't be caught, right?
And I backup and have a dev server at AnyNode too, oh and the WHMCS install to bill advertisers is hosted at... Hostigation!DailyServerDeals is hosted at RamNode. Ponies and Rams
That makes vpsBoard hosted by BuyVM, RamNode, AnyNode, DigitalOcean and Hostigation. Oh! DNS is hosted by Rage4. I pay full price for all the servers. All advertisers, regardless if I host with them or not pay for their ads too.

It's true. When advertising began here I think Fran (BuyVM) and Phil (KnightSwarm / Flexible Gaming) were the first two official advertisers and they've renewed each month. You'll find there are a handful of others who adopted early, too. Prometeus and Hostigation were right behind them.
You can see a complete list of active advertisers and their time having advertised here: http://a.vpsboard.com/data/public/ , you can view the member list and see who signed up to vpsBoard and in what order here https://vpsboard.com/members/?sort_key=members_display_name&sort_order=asc&max_results=20&sort_key=joined
When vpsBoard first started it was hosted at RocketVPS. It quickly died when LET died after being hit with a ton of traffic, both from visitors and from DDoS. I then moved it onto BuyVM's DDoS filtered service in Vegas to get it back up and running. Simple concept.

Hey I give you credit for stirring the pot and if you truely are new, I feel your questioning as positive.You want every one to believe this?

I've been at this a LONG TIME.... So someone like Mann and Fran running a scamola on me, bahaha, it would be funny.
When you catch up reading about 300 of my choice posts, you will see...
But the conspiracy thickens... Cause you know RamNode came in first again... and well... @NickA certainly has an "investment" in vpsBoard too.... and DigitalOcean ranked up there near the top too, cause they have an "investment" in vpsBoard....
So vpsBoard came in 1st, 9th and 10th.... Yeah, that's the story...
Wow you've done your research...Lulz...You want every one to believe this?

If you actually did any hard research I am surprised your not claiming I own vpsBoard.. I employed Curtis from before this domain was registered up until May of last year when I sold my company. So you can say Mayyybe vpsBoard wouldn't exist if it wasn't for me? idk.
Hell it even took me a couple weeks after he started this forum I think it was because I got tired of him mentioning it every day.

Of course they do... If they don't multiple spy agencies / outsourced intelligence agencies are hosting on their network and making multiple unauthorized backups and derivatives... Ownership is 9/10th's of the law... so I guess they can claim more derivatives and thereby ownership...
Well at least I can claim that I was one of the first 10 peeps who signed up. That should count for something haha.
