I'd rather bet on a rebate from cyberrrebates (yeah I know they're gone) than cyberwings
Well I must be a fool then because I spent some money on it. You think I'm a cyberwings insider? That's a laugh, obviously you have no clue and have not researched this wild accusasation or even bothered to ask me.
If I was an insider, I would have posted about cyberwings FAR more often on AT, on every cyberwings thread, on FW and everywhere else. I dont. Search posts from me and find out.
Here's my history with cyberwings, which you can confirm with searches, and if you bothered to show up at the IRC channel, logs.
A month or so ago someone posted the $3.90 hotdeal about cyberwings hosting. $3.90 for a year. Before this I was thinking about going dixiesys since the commetns about them were all positive, but since I wasn't ready to pay $3.90 a month, I was waiting until I had more solid ideas of what I was going to do with my websites.
I saw the $3.90 deals and thought, hey what do I have to lose. Most of the comments in that thread said that it was fine, except it took a couple weeks to setup. Fine, I can live with a couple weeks. The negative comments were mostly by people who said it can't possibly be true, its too good. I figured, hey if it dies I lose $3.90 per account, big deal, and they are personal websites, so no big loss.
So I ordered 1 and then 2 more individual accounts for that price. May 17th I sent in the first setup letter once I had my domain's all bought and setup. I got the reply for that one 2 days ago. That was about two weeks, I updated DNS and yesterday it was working. Yesterday I also sent in the setup letters from the other two, they emailed me about that TODAY. The backlog must be caught up.
Two days ago I went to #cyberwings chat to ask some questions about setting up my first individual account. I hung around for a little while and someone mentioned that the CEO had some crazy sales the night before.
NOTICE THIS, I was NOT posting about it or even in the channel for the sales before last night! If I was an insider, surely I would have been in the channel for previous sales.
So, I left the computer logged in to IRC for last night and it got crazy. Crazy sales, and giveaways. I woke at around 4am or so this morning (I dunno the exact time, check the post time that I did if you want to know) checked hot deals and someone mentioned I'd won something. I was like cool. So I went to IRC checked the logs and sure enough, I won a FREAKING reseller 8 account! I'm stoked about that. I decided to hang around for tonight. Anyone who has logs or who has been to IRC two nights ago can confirm that I wasn't there until yesterday. You can search my old posts on anandtech, the $3.90 deal was the first one I took advantage of.
Instead of throwing around wild accusations, how about you learn to find out what the facts are? Perhaps post some honest questions in the thread? Ask the CEO some things in the IRC channel.
