    Now, people are finding faults in forum usernames.

    It’s pretty insane to think that a username I chose whilst slightly drunk about 10 years ago has caused someone so much upset years later.

    New idea for this year: You start your own forum, with your own rules and spam.
    kthxbye >:D

    So you’re not fun to have at parties because of the turd you stepped on after you left the party?

    I'd say both. Disappointing party makes you feel stupid joining it in the first place while the sticky dog turd makes you more annoyed.

    Easily solved by a) not going to parties at all and b) wearing carrier bags on your feet at all times, so should you step on the turd, you simply remove the bags, dispose of them, and continue on with your day.

    Recap:

    • 8TB RAID-0 Storage
    • 8GB RAM
    • Unmetered* @ 1Gbps
    • Seedbox with rTorrent & Deluge, rclone, fuse, syncthing etc etc.

    I'm sure you also have some real Chinese or China based customers. The fact is that there are too many internet users in China. Some are good and some maybe hard to deal with. Anyway, it maybe not be a bad idea to add a special term into the order page, for example, for flash sale only, refund can be made to account credit only.

  • Dirt cheap dedi still wanted, OVH KS-LE level, providers be brave, you can go lower! ;)

    Thanks. We've made an effort to optimize things as there is a tendency for DOS every time we launch something. About every single time. Funny enough, we are planning to roughly double, maybe a bit more the processing power behind during next maintenance cycle.

    Hi, so after taking your deal from yesterday, I went to sleep. But now I just got an email says I got banned and order cancelled. I paid the invoice with bank account linked with PayPal, then I opened a ticket to ask if I can get the seedbox activated first because I know it will take some time for PayPal to complete the ACH.

    I mean, if you don't want to activate the seedbox first, you can just tell me and then I will wait for the payment get through. Why did you bann me, cancell the order and thinking I was frauding? I don't see what I did wrong here.

    KS-Legend was the dedi deal of BF/CM. If anyone beats that it will be so low stocked you ain’t getting one I’m afraid.

    What’s odd is this used to be extremely rare on BF - I’ve been around for a bunch of these and this is the first time I remember it being such a problem. Probably just entitled fucking millennial scum.

    Probably what I'll learning to do in the future.

    Special terms always cause a shit storm later on. People will simply ignore them.

    Yes we have real users from China too, suprisingly few tho, probably due to us being blocked by the Great Chinese Firewall.

    You yourself just mentioned many of the red flags you triggered. There was others too.

    I also told you that once payment is processed and received, reply to that ticket. But asking for service to be activated before payment you almost even missed that. Most scammers don't bother opening a ticket and then submitting a transaction ID, it would be a new con we've not seen yet.

    As a rule of thumb; NEVER deliver a service without upfront payment.

    So just update the ticket once payment has been processed, we'd be happy to reverse course and come to conclusion that for once we've had false positive on fraud identification.

    Maybe just bring a lighter and set fire to the bag and let it and the poop burn away? Or, for added fun, you can set the bag on fire, put the bag on someone’s doorstep, ring the doorbell, then run away. Then the occupant will stamp out the fire, inadvertently covering their on shoes in shit.
