Congrats RackNerd!

Romania-Kvm 2 core-2gb ram-30gb SSD-10tb traffic/mo-6.97 eur/quarter
Damn it, guys, it's necessary to give an equivalent of 30 or even 50% of these prizes to @FAT32!
What he's done here is a clear equivalent of a full-time job.
But don't give him more VPSes - he already has plenty, even if he leaves only those he got from @Cam
“Oh, little snowflakes, when did you all become grandmothers and society matrons, clutching your pearls in horror at someone who has an opinion about something… you snivelling little weak-ass narcissists?”
he has won the same prize as you.
I didn't win any prize at all , can I have the "LetBox - 25 x $5 Credit Balance - @key900" ?
thanks !
Let me know if anyone is interested in this. Maybe @Nekki? I have too much disks and too little media
Don't pm me unless you're sure you need storage...
Woah, nice!
Did not expect Hosthatch to end in TOP#3, now I am even more sad that never bought a VPS on that BF promo and was hoping there will be something for me in flash sales.
RackNerd going there was pretty obvious, NexusBytes seems to be a nice combo of premium/price :-).
Only sad thing is that prize drawing, was hoping for LunaNode credits 4th time in a row (btw. never used those, lmao). If anyone want to trade theirs LunaNode credits for mine Servarica credits I am up for a trade, I liked this
