Damn, you busted us. It's true. RackNerd advertises here.

Just completely shocking, I know.

BTW, what's with the @IamMad alias, @ViridWeb? Why don't you just post as @ViridWeb from now on, mmmkay? Been looking for a chance to see my new ban pic live.

If I happen to bring you attention and sales, you too should say you love me. 😘

orange gentelman just offered 50% off for love for purple gentelman, but maybe purple gentelman will go even further and to celebrate it he will run some giveaway (it is so long since last one)

am I right?

Wow you are one unlucky guy.

• You and @IamMad just happen to have used the same IPv6. Out of 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible ipv6 addresses, it's just a horrible coincidence.

• The ipv6 is registered to an ISP that is in the same city as the one you're posting from now.

• @IamMad just happens to have picked your owner's first and last name for the gmail account he registered on LET.

• That owner's LinkedIn states he's in the same city as the ipv6 and the IP you just posted under.

• @IamMad was asking mods how to apply for a Host Rep tag.

I could go on, but I think you see the point.

Please, everyone wish @ViridWeb good luck because the karma gods are ganging up on him. ☘️☘️☘️

So "they" should've been "we", and minus the "I think"?

Second account to shill for brand, that's worthy of the primary account getting banned too.

I've always taken issue with WHT in that they want to dictate what people can sell, but won't take responsibility for WHO is selling on their site.

Anyway, WHT is practically dead at this point. There's almost no relevant activity anymore. Kind of sad - I started posting on their in 2001 and met most of my professional contacts there.

I have very similar feelings. I stopped using WHT years and years ago because traffic was so low and the environment so hostile and anti business.

I assume your LinkedIn is just outdated?

Sort of yes. After the buyout I was asked to retain my title. These days, however, I am essentially a special advisor.

you either are a director of colocrossing or not. there is no "sort of".

I suggest to fix your stuff, everything else makes you look very unprofessional not to say shady. especially if you state something different around here.

so what is it, director at colocrossing? or special advisor? or a sock puppet?

I've not been on LinkedIn in years.

that's to weak of an explanation for a smart person like you are..

Did WHT just delete everyone's posts on the original topic?

@HalfEatenPie said: Did WHT just delete everyone's posts on the original topic?

They left everyone's comments but deleted Jon's and mine, then closed the thread to prevent any further replies.

@jbiloh said:

I'm happy to clear it up: when the acquirer purchased ColoCrossing they asked me to stay in my roll. Officially that has not changed since 2018. Unofficially, and given the transparent, but perhaps confusing answer I gave earlier, in essence I'm really an advisor with a fancy title but little control. Hence is mega corporate life.

I almost never use LinkedIn - my account was created years ago by one of our marketing team members and I don't maintain it. To be honest the amount of messages I get on there from folks trying to sell me something fills up my "social" Gmail folder weekly.

Agreed. This is a very clear attempt to defraud LET.

Ban @ViridWeb for great justice

Thread title "WebHostingTalk Censors LET Admin".

Thread content: corruption, shaming, ban, PvP (provider vs provider), purple gang flexing.

This why WHT is a dead zone. Such content is gold. I bet bear reading this topic with grudge and tears. Fu bear! Ha!

At least not like world war ll

@raindog308 said:

@Andrews said: that there is no rules on LET

HostSolutions did not actually violate any rules. Their provider tag was removed pretty early on once this news broke, removing their ability to post new offers, so you are incorrect.

Let me guess, HostSolutions will be removed from the LET Provider Register the day @cociu hacks LET and deletes the link himself.

We need a graph of expectations vs rewards of being an LET admin. If you want to make one, put 99% in the first and 1% on the second.

I have removed HostSolutions from the listing, thanks for the suggestion.

That said, the Provider Directory is not really maintained, and for that reason a few days ago we removed it from the announced topics list. There is ongoing conversation among the moderator team about how we can improve the concept and perhaps in a refreshed way it will come back in the future.

There is still a link to the thread above the commercials in the sidebar, so it might be a good idea to write that it isn't maintained.
