@VBCore that was nice compared to my reaction on vb.com. I was just tried, hald drunk and the threat of a post being deleted over an acident still some what angers me today. A simple warning would of been apropriate.

@Corrie WF What I meant to say was how was it an afiliate URL?

A mod found the link, gave the link to me and she was not a customer nor was I so there was nothing gained for me or anyone I know out of it.

I dug up some reviews on google and it was generally good. It lakcs advanced web stats, and a few other featuers I wouldn;t mind. No cpanel which sucks, so of course there are some sacrafices to be made but we went anyways.

Generally what kind of response times do you get?

bad reason... i receive hundreds of links each day, that doesn't mean i will post a new thread of them just because it may be useful... this url was really from someone wanting some new clients... if you're not that guy, why post?!... this is spam to me, even if you don't think it is...

this is the exact same stuff than when you receive a chain of letters in your email... "if you don't send this email to 7 people it will break the chain and you will have a headache"... this is spam, flooding, not just spam... think of the result, if 1000 persons send that chain to 7 people the same day, and next day these 7000 people do the same again... the internet is flooded too much already.

(oh btw this is just a copy/paste of my prefered stuff... i'm not spending my time writing it.. lol)

Why post it? because of a desperate need for hosting. Click the link in my sig for DOMS. Do so and an explanation is obvious, or so I would hope.

Spam? Your the one taking this completley out of context and beating a dead horse.

I can;t argue with you that chain letters are anoying which is why I tell people NOT to send them, but I hardly see the relvance. I don't care that the link was edited. Change the link to servage.net and drop the www. part for all i give a..I just wanted soem reviews on the hosting company and instead we get side tracked by this senles bable.

Why post it? Because I wanted reviews on the hosting before I or somone else(as one of the mods ended up buying it)

Making a threat to delete posts was totaly uncaled for IMO. Must we really beat a dead hoarse, I just want reviews. If you don;t have a review then please don;t spam up the thread. K thanks.

Sorry for OT but this seems to be the tipic thread where some guy comes and puts a referral URL and then get discounts. In this case, he has tried it and needs referrals.

good one

Which is an affilate url. Which means if someone signed up they'd get a commission.
