I can only imagine a meeting of all staff in a company, watching memes, brainstorming, and voting. We live in such a beautiful world.

I have the same username for both forums, but I only participated in one forum (thought it would be unfair for others if I did in both forums).

thanks again for 5$ credit gift @crunchbits

Will there be some page where shipping and import duties are automatically calculated for payment in advance?

Personally I would totally love to see something like that - I don't even know if there is some payment processor offering such services.

Working the batches of this stuff out and mass-messaging to avoid rate limit issues of the past.

@Mason @mikho - Is it possible to help him out by lifting the limits for a few days? I believe LES might need some PHP page for moderators, where a provider gets limits lifted on special occasions. I don't know, just throwing an idea.

Lifted the limit temporary on OGF. (Sorry I have no permission here on LES, but doing whatever I can to help)

In case it's not too late, limits have been lifted here as well

crunchbits

@Mason @FrankZ @FAT32 @root very much appreciated

Been hectic here, teams are split and it's not really much of a secret anymore but PA live testing is happening as we speak and Oklahoma City, OK is the same story though we'll be further delayed getting our end-user (non dedicated) gear there due to myself checking out a few APAC datacenters in person in [REDACTED] over the next week.

---

Big restock of storage opened up tonight. Remember: RAIDMEHARDER coupon code will be active until October 1.

Processing messages for winners this evening as well with further instructions (as necessary).

I just discovered a huge bug on Crunchbits website. I think I should report this to @crunchbits before it is exploited.

Maybe that's an easter egg?

For customer it might be sweet, but not for the provider. Let's just say it is that kind of easter egg that can put a provider in bankruptcy.

Jab

First use it so you will have proof!

and then transfer that server too me!

The only kind I can think of that can cause a provider to be placed in bankruptcy is security issues. Providers can choose not to honor any other pricing errors.

True. Biggest concern is always security. However nowadays even bad reviews can really damage reputation a provider at the start of business precisely when they need income to rise.

I could use it, it is extremely tempting. However, I already sent message to @crunchbits about this. I considered this the right thing to do.

I try to be a better man today then I was yesterday.

FAT32

I think I found what you found, interesting that a lot of providers miss out stuff like this. I used to actively hunt and report to providers on OGF but sadly doesnt have much time nowadays

Thanks for the heads up @root. It's missed because we don't do triennial payments except (just due to a bunch of requests) on 1 product stack: storage. IP addons defaulted to a 0 price there for the 3-year. Obviously, while maybe someone would find and exploit it I wouldn't hold us to some ridiculous deal achieved via an exploit/error that would jeopardize the business. The addon IPv4 are already limited to 10 specifically just as a "catch-all" just in case even though we'd allow more than that on a VM with a ticket/manual add-on.

That being said, you can have 10 IPv4 with your triennial storage order @root

Wait a second... are you actually considering making some weird offer with 10 IPv4 added for free on a triennial storage?
