All of your "LEB improvements" I've already done that
All of your ideas I've already done, at http://cheapvpsdeals.info, it's clear as day, and i've been doing them for awhile and I had a lot more planned. So go ahead and add to LEB, you'll just be ripping me. This community is done in my eyes, and I want no part of it nor the space it occupies.And It's clear to me now why this community has such a turbulent history. The selfishness, the negativity, the biases, the immaturity. You guys don't want an innovator, you don't want a strong leader, you just want to step over a $100 to pick up $5. The only ones I feel bad for here are the budget providers, because first off this space is tiny, it really is. On top of that there's a lot of competition, and for their business to thrive they have to come here and deal with all the complaining, the immaturity, the weeks maybe months delay on their offers even being listed, and then hope nothing goes wrong. Because if it does go wrong, they know the insults and disrespect will follow suit right on the front page... with the LEA admins fully allowing it. This is not how it should be, it's not how I did it, nor how WHT does it. But there's no changing it, maybe this is was in part the reason the original LEA left, IDK, but it's sad he left either way. I remember he mentioned in his farewell post he didn't really have any relations with anyone here, in 4 years and thousands of users... That alone should have up tossed red flags for me. I should of known that if no one appreciated his work, they wouldn't appreciate mine. Ah well, live and learn.

Every time, someone proclaimed to be a strong leader it has/had a bad outcome. You want to add to that?
BTW, how about sections (typography) in your text? You want others to read it, so make it readable.
Goodbye, have a nice life!
why? I don't know. The community is not a page, is the people. Also, don't expect that everyone leaves LeB and go to yours in a day. If yours is good, then everyone will go there...
and with that attitude, I doubt it.
nabo I am a far stronger leader, i've done more in 4 months than LEB has done in the last few years, the results are clear. And Aldryic that's real mature.
Call 'em as I see 'em.
I guess you didn't understand what I was trying to tell with my sentence.
Aldryic, this forum might as well just be renamed to BuyVM talk. You post here all day, you kiss up to mods, and they in turn unfairly list your companies deals much longer than they list others. The old LEA made your company what it is, and you should be very grateful for that. Your company is a classic case of when perception overtakes reality, the only other time i've seen this happen in this space is with the linode illusion.
Wow, another BuyVM hater. why??!! Maybe this should be renamed: the BuyVM lovers/haters forum
netmox I don't "hate" BuyVM, I just "Call 'em as I see 'em." to quote him.
Someone has to be on top, it's the yin/yang of the universe. There are providers here who are on the bottom who also get discussed, and then there's most of us in the middle.
..and yet you act like ordinar...]y [ again, again and again. There was chance, yes it was.. that people from here would be also interested in your site but now... just like I said before, your arrogance know no limits and the more you appear here the bigger jerk you made from yourself so why would anyone "follow" you anyway? You're not strong leader (it's not like you would lead anyone...) you're just immature ... with some tech skills but no social skills. Both are needed to make nice community based on respect and trust.
What happened to being unbiased?
Btw - kindly answer the counterpoints from the prior thread before you start spreading more lies in new threads :P
It's funny that everytime someone calls himself a leader (history proves) he has to be mean to others, wheras he shouldn't need to be, as he is the leader. There must be some connection between the need to name oneself leader and inferiority feelings.
Next he's going to tell us that he has an amazing girlfriend and/or gets laid daily
You should see him appearing first time at #lowendbox IRC... What a miserable, offensive creature. First though was that someones is joking. But then we found out that all those complains, insults, moaning.. because we're here and not on his site... are for real. Hilarious
Coming soon: Paragraphs.
This is something we rarely discuss... but Fran actually makes nothing personally from the company (we actually have to force him to take vacations <_<). I also used to be volunteer-only; due to our expansions and workload I've taken on a few new expenses, bossman compensates me for those now :P But otherwise, nah, we don't pay ourselves.
This would worry me if I would host something serious on your servers :P
Aldryic I was going to respond to you but i've had enough of your insults. I hope your companies perception continues for your sake and no one wakes up to actual quality providers out there. And nabo i have no inferiority complex, nor am I arrogant at all, I just like striving for excellence and putting hard work and focus into everything I do. I run many sites and a decent sized company, and I value everyone who's been apart of them, and have always been against abuse of power in all forms. So yes I am a leader, and what makes me strong is recognizing where i'm weak and valuing others input and treating them equal or better than myself. What also makes me strong is the ability to get things done and done right. But sometimes, like with this thread I have to say what needs to be said.
O_o Any particular reason?
(Well... I guess one could reason that we have 'no reason to continue' or such. But that's something you'd probably have to get to know us individually to understand XD)
Aside from the fact that I enjoy the hell out of it, you can put another spin on it if monetary gain is of importance. Without BuyVM, I would've had to shell out tens of thousands in Uni tuition/fees/etc to learn what I've picked up while working with Fran :P
@liam - I hate to disagree, but my original company (the one that was stolen from me) was one of the first, buyvm didn't exist back then and we had VPS for $2.99 /Mo.
...isn't that still a response?
I'll give you a dollar if you can make a video of you saying that with a straight face
He's right. We certainly weren't the first on the scene (BuyVM is just a couple of years old, after all)... but we are one of the more unique, in both our attitude and business model.
ill give 1 more :P
I agree, the posts are too slow. Either pick up the slack or hand it over to someone that can handle it
Do I understand that right, you blame a site that makes free advertisements for you for making those too slowly?
Seriously!?
So now I'm curious - why do you do it?
I didn't think anyone at BuyVM was doing it as a full-time job, much less cruising HostingCon in an Escalade with a waterbed, hookers, and blow. But I figured you guys were make something off the enterprise, because it looks like it's too much work to just do as fun. Building servers and hooking them up and a web site, etc. can be fun, but any hosting company has the hassle of dumb tickets, scammers, law enforcement wanting to see records for someone hosting child porn, and other headaches.
I could see putting money back into the biz to grow it, but as a long-term "we do it as a nonprofit community service"...?
@nabo, yes. It is no where as it used to be, and there are individuals out there that wanted to make the site better for everyone and willing to pay. Not just hand it over to a provider to run it and let it go to hell.
Its very disappointing, however; life will go on. The reason that most of these providers are still around are because the steady stream of sales. Without being posted they don't make sales and they will close shop.
nabo so what if it's free advertisement? It's a give and take, it gives the company free advertisement and gives the site good content, and a reason for people to visit it to begin with. I think companies should be treated with respect and curiosity, and when they have a special going on shouldn't have to put it on hold till someone at LEB "feels like" or "has time to" get it posted. Bills don't stop coming, and business owners and their employees need to eat. All of this is not a game is what i'm saying, i've always taken it very seriously and now it's putting me a negative light, but so be it.
