I encourage you to present your version of what happened over the last few years that took Virmach on LET from being the king of bargain VPSes to a pariah.
A wall of text would be required for all the details.
The short version, way I heard it, is that Jon is a dick. When he was still running Colo-Crossings and the VirMach contract came up for renewal he raised VirMach's rates by ~3x. VirMach left Colo-Crossing and Jon and Raindog308 then conducted a smear campaign on OGF in retaliation, so VirMach left LET. VirMach has recently stated that when Jon no longer owns the OGF he will return there.
Personally I expect that this had something to do with RackNerd becoming Jon's new best friend around this time. Because $$$$.
I should also note that even before the above happened there were two groups of members on LET regarding VirMach. They were commonly refereed to as the lovers [licking dogs] and the haters.
EDIT: I really should not have said the crossed out part above. I reacted poorly. Apologies to everyone.
Not sure why you felt the need to apologize but if it makes you feel better. That's pretty much how I remember it and would have said the same thing just with more antipathy. Oh, and the part where CC canceled a bunch of things abruptly.

There's a public lawsuit/filing somewhere, this is my attempt at paraphrasing it how I remember. All of the below is alleged in the lawsuit, and again I'm just going based off memory so this should be taken as such, and it doesn't include everything.
There was an agreement where Windows DC licensing was provided with some servers, and there was supposed to be some protections/procedures in place if Microsoft raised pricing. If removed, the actual cost needed to be subtracted from services. There needed to be proper notice and evidence provided of the previous price and new price. This was not followed (abrupt, huge increase, no evidence, tiny discount for removal.)
Some services were cancelled per requirements but cancellation was ignored/not processed and services continued being billed. Services were cancelled per the agreement (kept longer at a loss per the previous issue, but still not cancelled.)
Some services that were not cancelled, under a different agreement, under a different account managed/signed for by a different person, and paid for, were abruptly cancelled after erroneous bills (for those properly cancelled on the other account) were no longer paid for after cancellation on the other account.
__
This is vaguely how I remember it. All alleged and could be wrong. These numbers are not perfect, they're ballparks. Let's say we paid $X per unit for something. We paid $X+60% per unit for something else that included something on top. They wanted to change the $X+60% per unit to something like $X+200% per unit, or take away the "something included on top" and discount it to $X+35% per unit instead of bringing it down to $X per unit. These were permitted to be cancelled in two ways, either with a 6 to 10 month notice or every 2 years on precise dates with X days advanced noticed in a specific way. They were cancelled exactly like that, and cancellations ignored. They wanted us to continue paying for everything we properly cancelled, not receive the "something on top" but continue effectively paying for most of it. This was obviously not realistic in any way. The "something included on top" was also abruptly removed multiple times for multiple months with no resolution or proper credits, which cost us a lot of money.
Rumor has it that they took these same servers and rented them to another company (this is all highly speculative) later on. At a lower rate than what we asked for ($X, which we were guaranteed per contract, we weren't asking for a random discount.) They refused, they would rather do this instead, and lose money doing it.
On top of this, they obviously allegedly did a few disgusting things on top, which was the hit pieces, as well as powering back on servers to pretend we were using them and to make it to where our customers could still log in to their VPS. This caused many customers to cancel their services with us since they could just use it indefinitely for free (the Ryzen would cancel, they could keep using the old service for as long as it ran, I heard they kept it up for as long as a year plus.) Then of course after they finally took it down we also received more negative reviews and complaints from customers for not contacting them before it eventually being taken down. They allegedly also did not remove us from the abuse contact for the IPv4, we might be receiving them to this day (I assume this is so they can ignore abuse, we told many entities including some federal agencies that these aren't ours so they should have easily noticed.)
@FrankZ said: When he was still running Colo-Crossings
He's "officially back" since HostPapa took over.
What I heard is he kept the Buffalo datacenter, made more money renting everything to the company that bought them for their IPv4 (and didn't care about the Buffalo datacenter.) So he never left. Just rebranded under some other company. And indirectly. Our lawyer was looking into it and he noticed "something weird" in regards to that and that's why I believe they sued Deluxe, as well as this shell company or whatever you want to call it, as well as JB directly to cover all bases.
I'm going to add in something fun into all this, HostPapa wanted to acquire us. We had a meeting, I wasn't really interested in selling, I was wondering what the process would look like and they brought on so many people in a meeting and just me on our side. Their technical expert or whatever was arguing with me that E5-2620v4 or whatever specific processor was X cores and I kept correcting him which bothered him. Of course I was right and I didn't let it go, he eventually looked it up and realized he was wrong, but I mostly just annoyed everyone and that finally got them to stop calling and emailing me constantly.
Looks like customer abused service, I offered to reduce suspension fee as a courtesy in some cases, and I assume it was taken out of context. Or would all the other customers on Tokyo storage server prefer we let him continue breaking AUP and degrade their services? If I moved him to LAX then I know with the better RAID controller, more disks, it could potentially have a lower impact even if the abuse re-occurs. I think it wasn't the first time something happened with that service either, or do we waive fees forever and just keep warning even though what's being ran on there should at least be on a larger share service (even if abuse doesn't occur, the normal non-abusive portions are still high usage.)
Why is there only one complaint like this right now, if it's assumed we're just doing this to everyone there's 500-1000 missing threads for storage services.

Link all of them selling 7950X w/ 1 IPv4 for $7 a year and I'll consider it.
Anyway I'm mostly confused by your comments when taken as a whole, it sounds like you don't like VirMach, and our prices are higher for worse specifications, bad support, and everything is boring, but you hung around for the sale, maybe even bought something, what's the full story?
@roseyysa said: Don't forget, this thread is already 339 pages.

Are you/Virmach still involved in a lawsuit against them?
It went pretty much exactly as you'd think it would go with a small company going after one a thousand times larger. I'm usually the type of person who would not care and do what's right, regardless of the costs, but it was beginning to present a non-zero risk to our customers I was not willing to take (if we fight until the end and run short, I personally would not care what that implies for me, I didn't like what it implied for our customers and they didn't sign up for that risk & already went through enough.)
So that decision was made before the point of no return. Legally speaking it's not a simple yes or no, there's a spectrum of "no" and we'd be somewhere there.

That was fast. 🤞
It hasn't been going very well. Just to paint a picture of what that means, I've been attempting various different ways to migrate since then. I've landed on a method that works but it's going at around 5MB/s and while that's going on I'm preparing for some hardware replacements instead. Only problem is it hasn't been narrowed down and could very likely be the motherboard and I'm pretty much as far away as I could possibly be from NYC right now or I was planning on driving up there anyway (didn't due to winter weather.)
I've just finally got it to transfer without crashing for several hours now and that means 5MB/s. I don't even want to do the math on how long it's going to take for it to complete at 5MB/s. Nevermind it still crashed as I was writing that but it definitely was stable for a while. Okay back to the drawing board.
We heard back from xTom by the way, we're being moved either on the 23rd or 24th at 8AM to 8PM local (Tokyo) time.
I've decided against sending a detailed email, and made a network status update instead. Email was going to end up being too confusing and would have raised too many questions so I'll just answer those here instead of inviting hundreds of individual tickets to basically be created by sending the email. I believe I already explained everything here to a good degree.
Good thing that I have 0 Tokyo servers and I can just watch this forum burn by MJJ attack.
(into) https://billing.virmach.com/networkissues.php?view=nid1674 Thu, 23 Jan 2025 17:00:00 -0800 On either January 23rd or January 24th, there will be a timeslot between 8AM and 8PM local Tokyo time where a physical migration of servers will occur. Your service's IP address will not immediately change after this maintenance, however, networking should improve for this location. Your service will remain on the same physical server after this maintenance. There may be another round of maintenance occurring afterward (likely in February) but we'll provide more information on that when available.

isn't whmcs can send batch announce email without open massive tickets
New strategy has been deployed for NYCB032. It's going to just go as fast as it can and do it in partial chunks one at a time, and auto resume after reboots. I don't know how well it'll go but we'll see. This way we can count on it crashing and just make sure we do it in a way where it'll still eventually complete and instead of throttling to avoid crashes we just move as much as we can as quickly as possible. Best part is I can reuse this later and I don't have to babysit it as much anymore.
If all goes well (it doesn't get worse than just constantly crashing) we should have everyone moved off soon.
Update -- seems to be working well, I'm going to test a couple of the ones that completed partially before and after a reboot to see if the data's clean/usable and other than that I think we're good.

isn't whmcs can send batch announce email without open massive tickets
Tokyo customers usually make a lot of tickets any time an email goes out, way more than other locations. So we could send an email that says anything and based on previous experiences we end up getting a couple dozen tickets per server with people asking questions or asking we do it some other way for them, or completely unrelated questions/additions like "yeah but I still have this other issue" or "IPv6?"
This situation is already kind of vague, I don't know the exact times, I don't know what else is going to happen/go wrong, I don't know if the network improving is going to set off another round of people breaking ToS to sell their accounts and so on, so I'm going to just provide an update for those who see it and potentially send out an update AFTER it's complete with more information if I find it necessary and once I have time to go through the influx of tickets after sending it out. Now is not a convenient time for lots of tickets to appear, it would just create a backlog. And an email would also not be super helpful since I do not have exact times and would have to update the status page anyway.
The only thing we're prepared for right now are people making tickets anyway after they go offline, in which case I'll flag all of them to check the network status page with a canned reply. And do our best to update the status page.
EDIT: it looks like some networks that peer on Any2IX can access. Definitely some borked announcement.
QuadraNet and Multacom (including CloudCone, which uses it) have been acquired by the same company (Edge Centres) and there are rumours that QuadraNet and Multacom are going to merge, so that might make sense!
Also the quality of service from QuadraNet and CloudCone has dropped significantly since the acquisition, you can see complaints in a number of places and personally I'm worried about what will happen to QuadraNet afterwards..

QuadraNet and Multacom (including CloudCone, which uses it) have been acquired by the same company (Edge Centres) and there are rumours that QuadraNet and Multacom are going to merge, so that might make sense!
Also the quality of service from QuadraNet and CloudCone has dropped significantly since the acquisition, you can see complaints in a number of places and personally I'm worried about what will happen to QuadraNet afterwards..
