Yes, I don't understand why you're asking such a question, and as a moderator you're perfectly capable of explaining it head on, rather than implying/accusing me that I think you're doing something nefarious. I never said anything like that.

You interjected yourself into a conversation I was having with someone who tagged me. You accused me of " never want to answer a question head on, they'll find something completely unrelated and pretend to answer it." when all I was looking to do was see if I had a comparable VM to transfer to @wuyicheng538. I think if you had a better comprehension of English you might get what is being said and maybe not lash out at people without reason.

Okay, thanks for the answer. I'm sorry if I have offended you and I apologize for that.
I'd like to explain a little bit about this, without your later additions, I really don't see how your response and how it resolves the four month long offline of DALZ004 and DALZ007 is of any help, you simply specifically pointed out that wuyicheng538 had 16 reviews and further pursued the specs & price.
That's what I'm having trouble understanding, why you're not willing to be direct and give a clear response, instead of just telling half the story. That was the underlying reason I posted my response.
As for your reference to me inserting myself into your conversation, I made a point of not quoting your conversation, but I guess anyone should be able to voice their opinion in this thread, right? Especially since I am one of the users affected by DALZ004 and DALZ007 offline.
Again, I apologize, I was simply hoping for a clear and complete response, and I hope I have your forgiveness.
@tulipyun as you said you have a right to speak here as much as anyone, so there is nothing to forgive. I took no offense, I just though you were off base, but we are cool as far as I am concerned.
Regarding your request for direct answers, I think that you are under a misconception that I can some how answer for VirMach, or fix servers that are broken. I do not, and never have, worked for VirMach. So I have a hard time understanding why you expect me to be able to fix DALZ004 and DALZ007, or answer questions concerning the issue.
@FrankZ said:
Although you have only made 16 comments here at LES all regarding DALZ004 and DALZ007, I would like to thank you for your restraint by spacing them out over time. Can I ask what is the specs and cost of the service that you have/had in Dallas ?
Thank you for your reply. My server price at DALZ is $5 per year, from the 2022 year-end flash sale. I am very grateful to VirMach for providing us with a cost-effective server. Even after being offline for three months, I did not submit any work orders. At that time, I was willing to believe that VirMach would solve the problem. But as you can see, VirMach didn't take the offline issue seriously, and even ignored our anxious wait. A few days ago, I renewed this offline server for another year. I believe many people will tell me that it is my trust that contributes to VirMach's bad attitude. I admit this point of view. Maybe I am still a little lucky, but This last bit of trust depends on VirMach's performance.
I didn't know that you were not an employee of VirMach, so please forgive me if I offend you.@FrankZ
I advise VirMach users who submit questions here not to disclose too much information that can identify your account. VirMach is known to retaliate, and based on my knowledge, at least three users who complained here had all their VPS services suspended.
VirMach may not address the issues you raise, but they are likely to take action against the person raising the concerns.

Yeah, FrankZ is just a client of Virmach like you and me.
What's the spec of the VPS though? Beside the price, how many cpu core, Ram, drive size?
That way we can offer you something close enough.
I'll let FrankZ take a stab at this first in case he has something close enough. If not, I'll give it a try.
Regarding DALZ04 and DALZ07, I have 3 VPS on those that have been offline for 4 months. At this stage, it's quite vexing. Can't understand what could take a data center or a host 4 months to stand up/send similar equipment somewhere else. We know you have ready servers at your office.
I also plan to renew all 3 servers when they come up for renewal in 3 days. A classic case of sunk cost fallacy.

I am actually canceling or have canceled multiple services at Virmach, but that doesn't conflict with my desire to restore a VPS that is in the middle of a service period.
Of course you're right, there's really nothing I can do about virmach's approach other than post it here.

I think it is like @cybertech said, where people had violated the ToS and then complained loudly. So the "retaliation" was more like drawing attention to their account which was then found to be in violation.

I also have a VPS on one of these nodes, and yeah once it drags on for 4 months it is quite annoying. Whatever the initial logic about wanting to recover people's data or not process cases individually, the time for that has well and truly passed. It is time to "fish or cut bait" on these nodes, i.e. there needs to be some resolution whether that is recreating blank VPS'es in bulk, cancelling them in bulk, allowing everyone to submit a move ticket, or something. Stringing people on for 4+ months with no resolution and tying the outcome to specific hardware is basically the worst way of handling it in my view.
That said, I'll also renew mine, because I have an account balance which wouldn't be refunded if @VirMach did disappear, so nothing for me to lose. My "best result" would be that the service is restored "soon" and the expiration extended by (at least) 4 months. My "worst result" would be that after I renew @VirMach disappears and the entire amount (including renewal) is written off. For me, it was a fairly cheap special and the financial hit is not much more than a few cups of coffee, so I'll take the risk. However, I understand that for some people affected the cost is much more significant (relative to their income) and if I were in their shoes I'd probably be more anxious too.

You might have reversed causality. The three examples I mentioned had their accounts and VPS functioning normally before they raised questions here. However, after raising the questions, their accounts violated the terms of service. It's quite a coincidence.

In that case, your advice to VirMach users should be to ensure they do not disclose information that could identify their account if they have violated the Terms of Service. I am sure VirMach knows who I am, but I have no concern.

It's like a situation where a wanted criminal voluntarily goes to a police station and gets arrested. Users violating ToS should not open tickets or post identifiable information on the forum.

The last guy that can here had 12 accounts. So, they should identify themselves more.
I started this thread at the beginning of the year as a way to keep a line of communication open between members and VirMach and so members, including myself could try to assist other members. It appears that this attempt to be helpful, has failed. It also appears that VirMach has left the building. Maybe it's time for us to move on, and for this thread to be moved into the rants section where there would be less of a need for moderation. It might be best if in the future members used the VirMach ticket system for support instead of this thread.
My meaning has been distorted. I support the punishment of users with multiple accounts, and at the same time, I also support God cleansing deceitful merchants.

The boss is about to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate. The existence of this topic is a crucial factor restraining VirMach from acting recklessly.

Thanks for the reply. So there apparently wasnt a public discussion and now the thread is bouncing back and forth between categories. got it.
I remember when this thread was created and it had a different subject and I believe was listed as being posted by virmach himself. Maybe I am mistaken. I got a kick out of the virmach == FrankZ angle but I really didnt buy it.
I quit participating here a while back, except for this encore, but still was enjoying following the path of Virmach. Had quite a few good years with him but bailed out a year ago. I went with 'he can not be mentioned here' and have been quite happy with the service.
So my 2 cents, which arent worth much. close the thread to new posts and leave it public, or let it run its course publicly. Dont hide it. People need to know. I am interested in the last act of this thing but dont want to have to login to follow. Yes Frank I believe you tried and did help a lot of people. Maybe just let that part go?? You did all you can do.

That is a bit of a misrepresentation of facts don't you think. Any thread starter can ask to move or close his own thread. I moved it to rants for maybe two minutes and then moved it back, as I thought that in this case it would be best to have a consensus of the staff regarding the move.

You are mistaken. I opened this thread with the current title. Even as a moderator I can not change the OP of a thread.

Have you 'heard' anything to suggest @VirMach has given up with LES or is this just them taking a break ?
If it is true this really does lower my support for the future of the business.
We have a supplier who has left servers offline for 4 months, supplies a fantastic /s mystery box and screws many. Provides very poor support and now 'appears' to be just walking away.
Yup, time for a fresh thread, methinks; reflect on current situation, bearing in mind holiday season.

I'm just the guy who forgot to get the admin to change the thread author. This is a continuation of the 2022 thread for housekeeping purposes. As I have said before I have no association with VirMach other than being a long time customer.
after reviewing the first page of this thread to refresh my memory. This post had virmach avatar on it but was started by frankz. the topic had the date 2023 in it. Maybe someone else changed it. But of course I could be mistaken and you may be right.
I check in here every couple days and must have just caught the short period of time this post was unavailable. I am sorry for that .
In my earlier post I do wish I would have thanked you for all the help you gave virmach customers that were affected by his issues. Thank you.
Please leave this thread public whether you close it or not.
@msatt I have not had any direct contact with VirMach. He has not answered any questions or tags in this thread for more than three weeks, so his leaving is just an assumption on my part. That said, moving the thread to Rants does not preclude anybody, including VirMach from posting in this thread in the future. It would just let members say pretty much whatever they want without having to provide the same proof as is required in a review thread. I originally left this open to the public because that way people who were not members of LES could see it, join and then ask for assistance. That seems to be a moot at this point in time.

As I said this thread never had a Virmach avatar as the OP, it was always me. I had asked VirMach to open a new thread as a continuation of the old thread in December of 2022 and he did not comply, at the time that I opened this thread and that comment was made, I expected that it was an oversight on his part and the admin could change the OP, that turned out not to be the case. The thread then stayed open so that there would be an open communication channel with me continuing as the OP.

Hey @FrankZ do you have access to IP logs for user login or this goes above? Can you internally, not sharing with us of course take a look at @VirMach history and did it changed last two-three weeks? Any patterns etc? Something to make sure he is okey - I would assume he would post that he is taking a break or something as we encourage him to do it for... years.
Anyone got any tickets replies lately and/or service transferred?

That's where I got lost. The tickets need to be specific to Soheil. I just saw "any tickets/service transfers" and figured that was same as fixing servers.

You might have reversed causality. The three examples I mentioned had their accounts and VPS functioning normally before they raised questions here. However, after raising the questions, their accounts violated the terms of service. It's quite a coincidence.
In that case, your advice to VirMach users should be to ensure they do not disclose information that could identify their account if they have violated the Terms of Service. I am sure VirMach knows who I am, but I have no concern.
innocent until proven guilty. anything wrong?

It's like a situation where a wanted criminal voluntarily goes to a police station and gets arrested. Users violating ToS should not open tickets or post identifiable information on the forum.
Too much English, and no deals

Have you tried turning it off and on again?Where is the discussion regarding why it is now required to login to read this thread ?
The last guy that can here had 12 accounts. So, they should identify themselves more.
You're logged in now. aren't you? Maybe that's the plan.
But it's not required? I can open LES in a new incognito tab, not be logged in, and browse this thread just fine.

I started this thread at the beginning of the year as a way to keep a line of communication open between members and VirMach and so members, including myself could try to assist other members. It appears that this attempt to be helpful, has failed. It also appears that VirMach has left the building. Maybe it's time for us to move on, and for this thread to be moved into the rants section where there would be less of a need for moderation. It might be best if in the future members used the VirMach ticket system for support instead of this thread.
Reviews -> Rants (off topic) -> Reviews (now)
Reviews -> Rants (off topic) -> Reviews -> Rants(soon)
My meaning has been distorted. I support the punishment of users with multiple accounts, and at the same time, I also support God cleansing deceitful merchants.
The boss is about to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate. The existence of this topic is a crucial factor restraining VirMach from acting recklessly.
I wake up to 32 new messages, however not a single wall of text from VirMach, sad.

Thanks for the reply. So there apparently wasnt a public discussion and now the thread is bouncing back and forth between categories. got it.
I remember when this thread was created and it had a different subject and I believe was listed as being posted by virmach himself. Maybe I am mistaken. I got a kick out of the virmach == FrankZ angle but I really didnt buy it.
I quit participating here a while back, except for this encore, but still was enjoying following the path of Virmach. Had quite a few good years with him but bailed out a year ago. I went with 'he can not be mentioned here' and have been quite happy with the service.
So my 2 cents, which arent worth much. close the thread to new posts and leave it public, or let it run its course publicly. Dont hide it. People need to know. I am interested in the last act of this thing but dont want to have to login to follow. Yes Frank I believe you tried and did help a lot of people. Maybe just let that part go?? You did all you can do.

Congratulations to vir for its graduation
and many thanks for FrankZ 's help and kindness.
Many people were here.
MicroLXC is lovable.
That is a bit of a misrepresentation of facts don't you think. Any thread starter can ask to move or close his own thread. I moved it to rants for maybe two minutes and then moved it back, as I thought that in this case it would be best to have a consensus of the staff regarding the move.
You are mistaken. I opened this thread with the current title. Even as a moderator I can not change the OP of a thread.
I am glad you are happy with your new provider. Just as an FYI, saying RackNerd here is not forbidden, but posting links or talking about offers is. Same with any ColoCrossing provider.
Virmach has graduated from both LET and LES!
he is the first to do so.
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Have you 'heard' anything to suggest @VirMach has given up with LES or is this just them taking a break ?
If it is true this really does lower my support for the future of the business.
We have a supplier who has left servers offline for 4 months, supplies a fantastic /s mystery box and screws many. Provides very poor support and now 'appears' to be just walking away.

Yup, time for a fresh thread, methinks; reflect on current situation, bearing in mind holiday season.

after reviewing the first page of this thread to refresh my memory. This post had virmach avatar on it but was started by frankz. the topic had the date 2023 in it. Maybe someone else changed it. But of course I could be mistaken and you may be right.
I check in here every couple days and must have just caught the short period of time this post was unavailable. I am sorry for that .
In my earlier post I do wish I would have thanked you for all the help you gave virmach customers that were affected by his issues. Thank you.
Please leave this thread public whether you close it or not.
@msatt I have not had any direct contact with VirMach. He has not answered any questions or tags in this thread for more than three weeks, so his leaving is just an assumption on my part. That said, moving the thread to Rants does not preclude anybody, including VirMach from posting in this thread in the future. It would just let members say pretty much whatever they want without having to provide the same proof as is required in a review thread. I originally left this open to the public because that way people who were not members of LES could see it, join and then ask for assistance. That seems to be a moot at this point in time.
As I said this thread never had a Virmach avatar as the OP, it was always me. I had asked VirMach to open a new thread as a continuation of the old thread in December of 2022 and he did not comply, at the time that I opened this thread and that comment was made, I expected that it was an oversight on his part and the admin could change the OP, that turned out not to be the case. The thread then stayed open so that there would be an open communication channel with me continuing as the OP.
it was fun while it lasted.
will the MJJs offer incense?

Incest, perhaps, allegedly.

@FrankZ please leave the thread exactly the way it is. While his absence has been irresponsible, I doubt he left.
Those cheering you on would also blame you later.
In any case, hope everything goes well to VirMach.
食之无味 弃之可惜 - Too arduous to relish, too wasteful to discard.
I hope so too. I don't think this is the end though. Doesn't feel that way.
Hey @FrankZ do you have access to IP logs for user login or this goes above? Can you internally, not sharing with us of course take a look at @VirMach history and did it changed last two-three weeks? Any patterns etc? Something to make sure he is okey - I would assume he would post that he is taking a break or something as we encourage him to do it for... years.
Anyone got any tickets replies lately and/or service transferred?
Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.
Well we know a couple NY servers got fixed so someone is still there. Isn't that going to prove the same thing as ticket replies/service transfers?
Nope - there was more than one person working at VirMach and I don't think they had access to forum account. And for tickets we just need those answered by Soheil :-) I am not asking VirMach as company future, I am asking for VirMach aka Soheil being okey.

That's where I got lost. The tickets need to be specific to Soheil. I just saw "any tickets/service transfers" and figured that was same as fixing servers.
Coincidentaly I received a reply to a ticket last night and it was Not from Soheil...
