The Ban Hammer

Kinda bored at work, and want a good laugh.
What are some of the best stories on LET that resulted in dropping the Ban Hammer?

    @Ishaq has been less tolerant recently, so some of the long-running freak shows get nipped in the bud.

    xfuse and the entire GVH debacle was a classic. Not sure if anyone was ever banned. I seen to recall his wife came here and insulted us all with the word dildo repeatedly.

    mtwiscool 's incredible (in the literal sense of that word) schemes were entertaining. 32mb.club, where you could have hundreds of customers on a single SATA drive because everyone knows that LET users just sign up to let their stuff idle, so it scales. I'm still waiting for his world-wide "one SSID" wifi network.

    I still remember DepotVPS_Shane though he was really just a low-grade mtwiscool. He had YouTube vids of him building his nodes with Best Buy parts.

    One of my favorites was the "free VPS by phone" guy. Can't find the thread now, but essentially the scheme was that you the customer would call a phone number and listen to ads. If you listened to enough ads, you'd earn a free VPS. Someone did the math and realized it was listening for 90 hours a month to get a 512 or something. The poster said "well, you can just dial and set the receiver down and walk away..."

    The best story was clearly the insanity that was SZ1. From amiable, friendly 'host-with-L-plates' to complete fucking lunatic over the course of a few months.

    That's because we fuck everyone out of here ASAP. History has taught us not to be so tolerant.

    Pretty much, although that guy was a special kind of stupid.

    Oh! I found the phone thread. Turns out it's actually a 1.5GB VPS and only took 4166 minutes (69 hours) of listening...but unmetered!

    I'd also list Johnny Nguyen's suicide threats and police raid as classic history.

    That puts very low value to the word business.

    Why was @WSS banned? This easter some of us got an offer from @vmbox because of him, with "WSS" coupon code.

    As far as I understand, he didn't to follow clear mod instructions.

    cociu ban was epic, given history of it (legendary "sister name" etc.). And maybe GVH Johny?

    He is still around as well. I got a PM from him not to long ago about IPs. Not too sure I trust anyone with his background, truth be told.

  • hostdarehostdare Member, Patron Provider

    I have been following let for long time . I can tell that he maybe a good guy but he was in high adrenaline mood while doing that . He used to think RamNode as this direct competitor at that time and many direct competing offers !!

    Sorry man even at my craziest, and believe me I have gone off the fucking walls, I would never use an exploit in that way. Especially against some one like Nick. All he has ever done is help this community, and try to make a living. Direct competition or not, makes no damned difference, when you see the harm that was done to clients. They had nothing to do with nothing, and neither did Nick. That was just a low blow and not something you do, unless you are complete dick.
