    I just want to point out the irony created by the combination of your first reply to this thread and the talk of "Reliable Servers" in your signature. I just think it's funny.

    As far as webhostingtalk.com, sites go down sometimes. I'm sure they'll be back up soon enough, whatever the reason for the downtime is.

    It certainly does appear that something is wrong... No big loss... There are so many sites like this, one goes down, I move onto another.. Been a member there as long as, if not longer than DP... ;)

    When it comes to server discussion I don't think there are any forums that compare to WHT

    I think they deserve it. They're owners are way to arrogant and only care about making money with their forum.

    You don't know the specifics and I'm not willing to divulge anything on the internet.

    No, some things are ment to be private in business. If everything was public, a lot of progress in the world would not be done.

    They do not deserve it they're a discussion forum to talk about web hosting. Why they get ddos'ed frequently is because of people who got banned.


    Usually the people who say they deserve it or hate WHT are banned for breaking the rules. It does not allow self promotion and it enforces rules. It also does not let people do scamming either like what goes around on digital point.

    You know what that's probably why they get attacked a lot they attempt to protect the user a lot more by enforcing rules like no unlimited hosting, life time accounts and all sorts of other rules to prevent scamming. But those scammers tend to have large botnets so you end up with ddos'es.
