Inside the 2025 Hosting “Trade War”: Hardware Turbulence, Vanishing Deals, and What It Means for All of Us
In one of our earlier posts, we talked about the fun part: Black Friday, megathread madness, and record-breaking traffic numbers that pushed LowEndTalk’s servers to their absolute limits.

Every November, our sister forum, LowEndTalk, erupts into that familiar ritual: the Black Friday MegaThread. It starts with a quiet spark, a handful of pre-BF warmups, and then, it detonates into an annual tradition in which servers, moderators, and caffeine supplies are all pushed to the limit. This year's Black Friday megathread on LET was named: “2025 Black Friday / Cyber Monday: FLASH SALE & MEGATHREAD – The Trade War”, and it truly lived up to its name.
