Just a quick note on what will be happening over the next couple of days.
- I am running out of time. Apology to all the providers who have emailed me their Christmas specials (and in some cases, just repeats of their previous offers), and sorry I won’t be able to fulfil all your requests. I haven’t even really started on my “Dead Pool November 2011” post yet (although there were some discussions on last month’s dead pool list at LowEndTalk.com).
- I am also taking a break, and will take my family on a road trip for a few days. 350km drive tomorrow and there are still lots to be packed. There won’t be new blog posts here either, but feel free to continue the discussion at the LowEndTalk site.

Greetings from the Austrian mountains …
Gerhard @ EDIS
Enjoy your trip and have a good time, bro.
Enjoy your trip LEA, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for you and your family. :D
Have a great brea.
I wish you and your family a fantastic new year.
Christmas vacation.. fun stuff!
Perhaps it time to turn this one-man-project into something bigger? Add some volunteer staff?
Have fun n_n
Good vacation boss :D
Enjoy your hollidays :)
who have emailed me their Christmas specials (and in some cases, just repeats of their previous offers)
^^ I think that Involves me, But the problem was last time that my actual offer didn’t get listed the “paypal fee” made it go past $7.00 but scrap that offer, Sales have come up with a new marketing plan and a new promo so that’l be upcoming.
Anyway, Have a Great Holiday!
You have a Paypal Fee? Oh that will go over well here.
Have a nice break LEA.
Re-read my post and search for previous offers.
You misread my post.
As if that would be something new for “Dr”Mike.
I believe it is against PayPal’s terms to do that although I see people try it all the time.
@easevps I found the post:
http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/ease-vps-5-44-256mb-openvz-vps-in-phoenix-or-jacksonville/
Yup, you had a PayPal fee until you got called on it. Guess I was right.
And spamming as well. Hmmm…
Just as an aside, we give links here. We’re supposed to be helping each other out. It’s also polite, something that you’ve been called on by others as well.
@”Tom” if you have something to say to me, put your real name on your comment. Else stop wasting our time.
@LEA, please excuse the interruption. How’s the ceiling by the way?
You are one hilarious guy who talks a lot of shit, “dr”mike.
Asking others to use real name when talking to you? I bet you are full of shit with your doctors degree and hosting company.
@drmike Do I missed something? Are you using your real name?
drmike, I find that funny since you won’t use your own real name.
I use my real name, point to my real website (Which yes is currently down. Working on that thanks to Quickweb really dropping the ball) and my real email address in my comments. Thanks.
So your real name is Dr. Mike? I don’t think e-mail addresses are getting public by commenting…
Mike you did not renewed your service before end of November, i’m not sure why blame that to us?
i don’t want to start an argument your service was up for renewal maybe a week or so when you cancelled so it is the same as not renewing for me… accusing me of lying is absurd! I checked the record and your renewal date was 12/06/2011 you canceled 11/25. I’m just making it clear that your site is not available due to this and not because we have server issues or what not.
Anyway let’s just say we do not fit each other well and movign separate ways was best for both parties! I hope you all the best in finding another host that will fit your needs.
Roel
Roel, I don’t have time for you right now. I’m trying to make sure some kids have a Christmas and I’m late for that. I gave you the opportunity to fix the issues. You ignored them. Instead you did start an argument with me. That’s what I linked to. I gave my review, you gave me a hassle and I cancelled my service with your company.
Since you keep arguing with me, I’ll be happy to take this up with your company’s ownership. This is now bordering on harassment.
I did not renew my subscription with your company. I cancelled it due to poor continued service that has continued past the cancellation. To say otherwise is incorrect. You’re trying to spin this and I won’t let you. Please kindly have some ethics.
I’ll be happy to drop this Roel like I wanted to. Please admit that tickets were dropped, you tried to bribe me and admit that I cancelled my service with your company. Please stop the poor attempt at spin.
Oh lovely. I’m locked out of your ticket system just like last time. I’d ask you to fix that like last time but you never followed up on that request either.
now obviously, if you cancel your account you cannot login to our system any more including the ticket system as your account was already closed as part of the cancellation process, all who operate WHMCS knows it and there’s nothing wrong with it and not any where what you are trying to imply.
The problem is your attitude dude to be honest.
You know folks, this thread was about LEA’s time off. Not sure why folks had to start an argument. *sigh*
Roel, do you even remember what happened? You dropped the ball on support. I pointed out that tickets were going unanswered and you tried to bribe me. I cancelled my service with you because of those problems.
If you folks had resolved the outstanding support and billing issues, I would have stayed with your company. Instead you insulted me in public and then lied about it.
Roel, do you remember any of that?
I could have sworn that the renewal date was in December as well and I cancelled before that date but I don’t have the information in front of me.

And the linkie to where I mention that I canceled the VPS, not “didn’t renew it”:
http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/quickweb-19-10year-128mb-openvz-vps-in-phoenix/#comment-55514
You know Roel. You could have handled this so much better.
Aaa…. At first I didn’t get what’s the sighing about. Now that you have posted the linkie, I know what time it is.
sorry clicked the wrong reply link see response above.
Guys, I m not taking sides because I know you both are good guys. I hope you both can settle this in a good manner.
Mike,
Does offering a client something like a small freebie to a client because he felt he is not happy with the service bribery or doing client something to make him happy or what not? you’re the one who started this by dropping our name out of nowhere read your original post again!
I’m just telling the other side of the coin and only the truth! if you felt you were given bad service because we did not done enough to satisfy you that is totally acceptable you have the right to leave just like what you did so please do not tell lies and move on.
Stop emailing me with your threats(now don’t call this lie i have proof!) if there’s anyone who is unreasonable here it is you and some people here knows it.
This will be my last response to you and have a good one!
Roel
This is the email I sent to Roel like he asked me to:
This is the email I sent to support@ that has gone unanswered:
As folks can see, there is no threat contained in it. Also Roel asked me to email him and I did so. He has not responded as of this time.
This is the subject line of the email I received from Quickweb that Roel says in a “I didn’t renew” notice:
This is the first line from said email:
Not sure why Roel thinks this is a “I didn’t renew” request. If that was true, I’m sure the emails would have said so and/or they would have been edited to say so.
So I guess management and/or ownership does not follow up on complaints about bad service.
All I did was leave a review about random reboots and tickets going unanswered. I have done so in a polite manner and have received the above. I know put these folks at the same level as YardVPS. They have some of the worse customer service that I have ever seen and I feel all folks should stay away from the.
Roel, I asked for your management to contact so I may discuss this manner. I was more than willing to do so privately but you and they have refused to do so. Again, this could have been handled in a much more professional manner.
Again, please have your employer contact me.
Have a nice and safe trip :)
Have a safe and fun trip LEA. :) Merry Christmas to everyone as well.
Have a great trip and great Christmas!
Good luck on your trip, and best wishes.
Enjoy it with the family.
And see you soon here LEA.
Have a safe trip LEA, where you headed?
I think you should get a someone on LEB to help you out
The issue about help has been discussed on lowendtalk.com. He does not want or feel this site(nor his others) need to become like WHT(or other web hosting sites). Bringing it up a million times will not change his mind. We should respect his decision and be thankful for him providing as much as he does.
It takes a lot of time and effort from him to bring this to us all and if he needs/wants a break I can respect that. I can also respect the fact that he does not want another cookie cutter web hosting site but something more.
@LEA I hope your trip and vacation goes well and you have a great time man. You deserve it and as does your family. See you when you get back bro :)
I suppose we will need to purchase “mid-range” VPS’s until you return!
Enjoy your holliday.
Have a good Trip and Safe Travel, Always use the Seat Belt :)
Merry Christmas & Have a Safe Trip!
Hope you enjoy the Vacation!
Have a great holiday, merry x-mas and happy new year.
Godspeed!
I hope you ‘ll be back soon. :) I’m looking for some vps deals to write tutorials. :)
have a nice travel LEA
we will miss you

http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/902/christmas-andor-leb-mmo-guild-discussion/p1
I know I’ll be spending most of the day doing support and catching up on tickets as that’s going to be my first day back from bellringing.
