  • Meh think this site is better. I really dig the forum software here.

  • laaevlaaev Member

    Of course this site (Lowendbox) is better, there's no comparison. Never in a million years will there be competition to LEB, the community here is too strong and unique. Rockbottomhosts looks like a wanna-be and rip off of LEB,coincidentally the owner of LEB and Rockbottomhosts are both named Joel :P

    Not to start a war, but I've seen many competing sites to LEB who never achieved similar success to LEB, I challenge you to find a site that is exactly the same concept (Low End VPS blog under $7) as LEB that is successful. good luck buddy

    Why would any host want to advertize as a rock bottom host? There is a huge difference between low end and rock bottom

    That was before LEB died. There's plenty of room for something better to pop up now. I for one wouldn't mind seeing a site that actually posts updates and maybe tries to be something more than a billboard. But hey, that's just me.

    That one actually looks good, I like how they list all those details in the post, you can quickly find what you're looking for and tl;dr the rest.

  • thanks, that cheapvpsdeal seems great. I use sometimes this site:
    http://lowendstock.com/

    It is more of a list with no user interaction, but i like the way it lists sites.

  • InfinityInfinity Member, Host Rep

    @Mon5t3r That rockbottomhosts guy.

  • mikhomikho Member, Host Rep

    There are new posts being revied here so hopefully they will be posted soon

  • @Infinity ah okay.. i'm just little bit confused. :P

  • gsxgsx Member

    Well its easy for a competitor to appear when LEB is "a ghost town."

  • @gsx said: Well its easy for a competitor to appear when LEB is "a ghost town."

    And when they do post, they post AlienVPS? Wtf.

  • @DotVPS said: Mark said he'd try to push one out tonight.. so fingers crossed.

    Hopefully it's a decent provider, I don't understand why in the world they'd post AlienVPS... Horrible company.

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    Where appointed the new writers? There is some criteria for the posts?

    Just noticed how bad I wrote those sentences :)

  • @Kairus said: Hopefully it's a decent provider, I don't understand why in the world they'd post AlienVPS... Horrible company.

    Fairness, I suppose. Pleny of folks have been complaining that setting 'rules' and 'standards' for LEB was unfair/etc. As one user put it,

    it should be our choice if we want to sign up, the admin should post all offers

    Oh, I don't advocate that view at all, just reminding folks of what was said. There was quite the outcry over Chief making an attempt to keep known horrible/fraud companies from being able to harm the community further.... nevermind that none of the folks making said outcry actually knew for certain whether or not LEA followed similar practices quietly :P

    Personally, I feel that the content of a site is the decision of the site's owner. Some folks tend to overlook the fact that LEB is a blog that allows commentary... the 'community' is here at LET, where any provider that follows posting guidelines is allowed to put up an offer.

    @DotVPS said: good point where are the new ones?

    All new writers posts have to be reviewed by 1 or more of the "old" writers before allowed public viewing.

    As of now there are posts made by the new writers waiting for release. When thats going to happen I dont know.

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    Thanks for the update.

    I'm glad somebody is starting a new lowend offer forum, LEB is dead, just taking money from advertisers and don't do anything, it's almost a scam now...

    Guess all we can do is wait and see... there has been alot happening to LEB/LET that wasn't planned when @Chief took up after LEA. Guess that with all those "accidents", there hasn't been enough hours to a day to make ends meet.
