I called this deadpool a month ago, yet was called a scammer & banned
Ohwell!
Nope, facepalm.
GoodHosting bought HardCloud and got HardCloud's FreeVPS account. He asked the staff to be renamed to GoodHosting and it was done.
Get your things straight and btw: Source --> me because I renamed him personally and he excused himself for the mistakes done by the former owner of HardCloud.
A user on freevps.us made a workaround to access the bhs1 CP: http://freevps.us/thread-14042.html
Didn't you work for this guy?
I'm still maintaing my allogations that Michael James Long owns both LowEND.co & GoodHosing.co - we'll give our friend GoodHosting a few more days before we push the DEADPOOLZORZ button.
Even I too have proof that Michael was owner of both those company! ( I had a very big skype conversation with him where he clearly mentioned that! )
Not everything he says is true.
I am starting to think though, that there may never have been a HardCloud purchase and it was just a rebrand attempt to shake the dodgy image.
Possibly. Perhaps Jaroslav has taken over as Director of Operations as well.
Just a thought, but should members be allowed to resell the wares of banned providers?
LETs core is fueled by drama. I don't think LET should moderate such things because it's the clients responsibiliy to research a hosting provider prior to utilizing them - that and I don't think the extra work on the staff team is needed.
A host that "screws up" or has a bad reputation already gets bashed enough, points at GVH.
If someone found a link between a upstream that had a bad reputation, and eh, they're known for that over at vpsBoard, god help the said host.
I disagree, I've always been of the opinion that the staff should work to keep highly undesirable types away. Otherwise, why bother with restrictions that are in place over how soon someone should post?
Can someone remind me who HardCloud was? Was it the guy who couldn't explain what a cloud was and tried to argue why he wouldn't need SSL on WHMCS or was that someone else?
Banning doesn't work and if it does, its only a small percentage of people that it works on. Users will come back with multiple accounts, again & again & again, causing further load on the staff team - and even more problems.
In saying that, there are a few "undesirable" charecters here but banning them wont help the community.
And not having been on the staff at any point, you know this how?
I run a number of communities to know well enough that banning is not a strategic move against exiling unwanted members of any community.
I've also personally run several gaming communities and forums and have found that if you ban a user, they will be more and more determined to break back in through several other IPs, usually leading to more DDoS attacks and malicious activities.
However, in cases like this, I believe that banning will save a lot of trouble later on for customers. If we filter out unstable and flaky providers, we can protect the community from falling into these traps. Yes, I understand that people believe the customer should "do their homework and research the company first" but at the same time we could also be held responsible for "promoting their services" on LET through their postings. The least we should do is add into the Terms of Service that LET is not responsible for the transactions of services between the users on here.
You're comparing apples and oranges. Banning forum troublemakers and banning providers are two different things.
How would you handle the situation then. It is easy saying something won't work. Suggest a solution.
The question is: why would he deadpool. Wasn't he doing okay after the drama?
In his defense I'm sure there are just as many people that deadpooled with .com domains
I don't think so, Goodhosting seemed quite knowledgeable.
Please read the thread where I tried to walk him through setting up bridges on OVH infrastructure... I practically gave him the answer and he didn't find it. Maybe he was having an off day but that is troublesome to say the least.
Link link link?

Seems he was also involved with Garnet Networks which dead-pooled: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1312037
Garnet Networks was Michael Long's company prior to LowEND.
And so, the story for the battle of azeorth continues...
If we have actually banned the provider, then yes.
Are you sure you meant yes?
No, sorry. I misread. If we have banned a provider, members should not be allowed to resell from that provider.
