maybe it is finally time to create Scamms Directory as well?
with community voting (lets say minimum 100 votes, and at least 75% of the votes in favor), not only these six persons who decided to unban romanian scammer
if so, let me suggest: Hostsolutions, Hostdoc, Alpharacks...
That might/will end up hurting the purple sugardaddy. So highly doubt it will be allowed :-)
We're at a big of a peak moment in LET history in terms of the amount of passion allotted toward disagreement over what is and isn't a scam, admittedly.
If AlphaRacks doesn't qualify for being scam - I don't know what would.
WHT is practically dead for a regular user. Hosts may log in every once in a while and post offers. Most other sections are not even visited regularly and no active, quality content is posted. LET is the way to go !
To be honest, useless drama, and if i'd be you, i would just don't care at all. They are killing themselve, we don't need to talk about it here. It feels like a "fight" to grow visits, clicks and participation by involving the community trib.
You help to manage LET, you believe in your values, you participate actively. You have nothing to prove. WHT is "a board" somewhere on the web. People prefer one board, or another one or another one; it's ok, they will make the choice that suits them the most.
And as we can see with all answers in this thread, it's not like it's causing any trouble to LET. LET has it's mindset, and if we are active it's because it fits ours (or at least, it's still entertaining).
And yeah, good job, i appreciate LET and his community, thanks a lot for keeping this space free and easy to use as i expect from a board i read mostly every days.
That's eerily similar to what politicians say (and like to hear) about themselves. Looking from a purely financial perspective such statements may well be true, but then, humans aren't motivated by money only. Power and influence are two examples that come to mind when thinking about other motivators.
And btw, is the premise even true? Does @jbiloh compensate at least some (e.g. particularly hard working) admins or does he not? Me not know, but if he does then the equation changes (how much it changes obviously depends on how well they are paid).
Make LET Great Again!
Such a directory would be pointless - virtually everyone on it would be out of business and no longer taking orders. I could name two dozen companies that went under that you've probably never heard of because they were years ago...how would that help anyone today?
Six? How do you know this number?
The community definition of "scammer" sometimes appears to approximate "did not provide what I expected" which is a poor definition. Scamming requires a mens rea which I don't think @cociu ever had. I mean, technically I have $84 in credit sitting in my HS account I could use for new services...
The fact that the community voted them Top Provider last time we took a poll means that your conspiracy theories are not believed by those who live over here in mainstream reality.
Yes, there's a whole category of reference-type information and the plan is to move it to a more appropriate platform...it's slowly rising to the top of my todo list.
If they could scale that return, they'd be able to buy Google with pocket change.

I buy it. Fucking LinkedIn. Mine's 4 years out of date and even then I couldn't be assed to add for than two lines. As long as you've got work, do people really keep up with that shit?
Problem is, people don't know the difference between a scam and just running a business into the ground from incompetence. And that people can't spot obvious fucking incompetence if their lives depended on it. HS was inevitable and believing otherwise makes you naive AF.
Do you still smoke?

In my experience, when people get laid off, they update their LinkedIn and then begin posting to show they are deep thinkers. Then once they are employed again, LinkedIn rot sets in.
The exceptions are (a) recruiters, (b) PR people, and (c) people who think LinkedIn is some sort of LiveJournal for their thoughts and feelings about the world's ills. These people also tend to be unemployed because they have degrees in Interdisciplinary Comparative Social Justice Studies and such.
@stevewatson301 won one of our giveaways within this thread. Instead of claiming the $10 Amazon Gift Card, he encouraged us to select a charity of our choice and donate the $10 instead
Because of his generosity, we've doubled the donation!
Steve's only request was to post a screenshot once done.
Thank You @stevewatson301
The purple sect continues to do good. Nice one.
LinkedIn wanted me to login to find out who that was. Didn't feel like it because the autofill didn't have anything. Tl;dr?
This checks out.

Ha. It wouldn't surprise me if that profile was made by the same guy that linked/made a fake site in Timbo Jones name. I forget his handle, the Offshore guy.
There's actually five different Timbo Joneses on LI.
Just giving my two cents here, no one cares about the trash that WebHostingTalk is, not worth the browser cache.

Meh, WHT... the place where you are welcome to become a Premium/Paid member when signing up, but as soon as membership expired, we will remember you had another account in the past and will suddenly, without any kind of notice, ban the currently used one as well as banning all your companies/links on the forum.
Sounds about right.
"cPanel liked" the following tweet.
Why do we still gossip about some other online forum? Let that forum manage itself as it pleases. I only care about THIS board, even though I am just a member.
