    GreenValueHost Takeover

    Just saw this posted on LET

    https://portal.gvhclientarea.com/ann...ents.php?id=14

    Looks like Xfuse will be running the site in the interim.

    Why is this news? ... news worth mentioning? ... I mean honestly we're one step away from announcing their special offers as news.

    If GVH/Xfuse wanted to announce this on WHT they could do so in Industry Announcements.

    I never said this was 'news' and 'news worth mentioning' is subjective.

    You've linked their news/announcements page, making it 'news'... and the fact that you've mentioned it makes it 'news (you felt was) worth mentioning'... I just don't understand why...

    Linking to the source of the information discussed is called referencing.

    There is no "GVH" -- just some kid named Jon that was busted for hacking/DDoS/whatever. He's a teenager, not a hosting company.

    His "personal education and rehab" is (1) he was busted, (2) he probably has to repeat the (11th?) grade in summer school.

    He really sucks at PR spin. But he's a kid, so it's easy to see why.

    Thread about his scamming: https://vpsboard.com/topic/7216-gree...o-scam-people/
    After WHT (FINALLY!) banned him: https://vpsboard.com/topic/7225-its-...aving-hosting/

    If WHT un-bans him, he'll be back.

    WHT banned him? Allelujah!! It was more than overdue.
    Only, I will kind of miss GVH threads; they were always fun read.
    .....Unless this is just another one of Jon's ruses.
    My "ranking" is kidding.
    I'm just a humble client, here to seek help and guidance from the true experts.

    I seem to recall that GVH didn't have any qualms about creating fictitious identities, I'm sure he'll be back in some form (just wait for the "IMMEDIATE RELEASE").

    The odd thing is that Jon succeeded in getting clients through the door (albeit ultra cheap clients), he just failed to incorporate higher margin product lines once he had a little brand recognition. Several companies have started on the low-end and then moved upmarket with premium brands or products, but for whatever reason GVH always seemed allergic to profits.

    According to the OP:

    The link in the first post indicates what happened, although the title here essentially says it all.

    Pretty much an FYI only for those interested.

    They announced 3123089471287512048912978618245123746 different things in the last 2 years.


    I've been off for some days...checking in and out to stay up to date. GVH banned....about time. My faith in WHT has been restored.


    I only fear it's not another ass-backwards promo skit to fuel future promotions.

    What's that old saying? You can fool some of the people, some of the time. But you can't fool all of the people, all of the time?

    Given whats happened with other members on here, it's pretty damn hard to get unbanned. Once the mods catch news that you've returned in different clothing, you're getting punted out the door. LET & WHT were his only real selling floors past hackforums. When LET was gone he started to get other brands to start reselling him to keep going and still had WHT. With WHT now hammering him, it's likely if he ever joined another hosting firm and it was found out, they may get smacked as well.

    There has been some forgiving/etc in the past, but Jonny's a few years out before that'd happen.

    So exactly what happened that lead to the banning?

    I've enjoyed reading threads where you could it leading up to a ban or at least an infraction...but what was different this time than the other times for the last 2-3 years?

    Shilling?

    Lying to another customer?

    WHT had enough?

    I was about to ask the same. All this time the rules were quoted in defence of why the account was not yet banned, and now I'm dying to know which rules were broken.
