I can understand your position, but there's literally absolutely no benefit for me to fake an act at a time like this, there's no gain, it's just stupid.
Even if it was a reputation thing, it doesn't matter, because most people I know here think I'm an asshole because of shit back in ~2007 anyway.
[QUOTE=MichealKenny;31391938]@amcfaggot do you know if CU had money problems, could this have been the reason?[/QUOTE]
That much was clear to anyone who saw the first thread.

It Matt's words

I'm still not sure about how the nonpaying clients part works.
Not to be rude, but what's Brohoster? I've never bothered to look at the threads about it or ask people what it was.

Small 'lil hosting company that's main selling point was customer service (We treat you like a bro, Not screw you like a ho). Everyone loved them until recently.

awesome server host with a small but awesome community of employees

I honestly don't know how Club Uptime was surviving in the first place. It was such a generic company with no hook at all. I would have gone to much larger companies for a VPS solution, or hosting of any kind that they provided. It doesn't take much to guess that they weren't very profitable.
I ran the numbers for our system loads, and guessed that we could have dropped 9 systems because clients receeded. This would have saved us money, and we were suppose to do this anyway. For those of you who don't know or maybe just realize, some clients leave, but a big portion stay with us for a long time.
Since we never purposely overloaded systems (the only time systems were overloaded were due to number peaks that were unforseen, resources being used on the high end of tiers very quickly), we always provisioned newer systems to expand our network to fill orders. Over time though, a significant amount of people can leave, which leaves you with boxes you no longer need, thus causing financial issues.

There's no benefit to making it the end of the world either?
I don't care about the money I lost, I care about brohoster, i've been with them for so long and now they're just gone, I wouldn't know what andrew or even jake is going threw right now, just to see it go.

Thanks, I try to be, but I'm not gonna fake empathy and bullshit people, either. Gbps is an oldie from the Lua scripting section, so I can expect that type of retort from someone that subforum. People there just don't fucking let up for some reason.

We're not all that bad. I don't really have any of my past grudges anymore (Par one or two)
I remember I won some sort of server in a competition but I never used it, oh well.. I should've given it to someone who could've used it.. Good luck working with LethalDrive though.

Read the thread, I'm not mad. The only thing irritating me right now is Gbps causing a shitstorm within a shitstorm. Like I said earlier, it's something you can guarantee from someone who's ever been an old timer in that subforum.
I'll just ignore him, because it's not worth shitting up the thread over, since that's already happened once so far.

People shouldn't hold grudges at all though, this is a forum, that type of shit is just stupid. Get along with people, and don't hold some idiotic, unneeded form of paranoia that causes you to think people around you aren't actually nice.
[editline]28th July 2011[/editline]
Enough with the derailing, discuss Brohoster shit and future LethalDrive goals.

Have you ever had someone needing help with a sever just be an downright asshole to you guys?

Nearly all of the old staff is in Steam right now and we'll all chattin' it up in a group chat right now.
AMC, I just finished reading the entire thread and saw your edit on the OP.
There's no way to get our worlds back?
Sorry for your loss :-(

He's trying to help the clients as much as possible. He looked at his bank account if he still could, that's what I'd do as well.
Andrew's attitude, in my opinion, is to strive for minimal damage. I can see him putting his effort in that strive. He's going quite far in it because he's emotionally involved, which I can understand if it paid his college.

Nah sorry man, when I got up, about at least 1000 clients were purged from the system. I tried to contact people and get a mass message distributed, then we lost access to WHMCS, and the entire network began to fall in on itself. Shit was movie-like.
