just a heads up on your website you might want to switch those "X's" for checkmarks, just change the label to like "Unlimited slots? Check" and "Lag free? Check"

Good plan, not sure why I didn't do that from the start, I think I just wanted to use the .ico that I made hehe.

I do want to stay away from the word "Unlimited" though. Since I will get somebody to call me out on that one and I can't host a TF2 server with 23124151512321323124124123123 slots, simply because the server will reset that to 32 when it checks/modulates the command line while launching.

#29 don't ever wink at me again you fucking creep.
People interrogate because you don't answer questions in a straightforward manner. You charge one price and less than a month later it has gone up 50%? That's shady and your selective system of answering questions is weird, and you also either had friends or alts with one post talking up your business. I'd rather give my credit card number to a sketchy porn site than you. Seriously you're asking people to trust YOU with that information? I wouldn't even use an ATM next to someone this shady.

do your boxes really have 900 GB SSDS (and if they do, why on earth do you think that would be necessary)?

do you really dedicate 1 core per server and simultaneously plan on hosting 90 servers per box (wat)?

why do you roleplay as your "employees" on your live chat?

why did you initially promise chicago servers and then bait-and-switch?

why did you lie about getting dos attacked?

why do you claim to rent servers from these guys: http://www.aiso.net/dedicated-hosting.html

In b4 lock.

Just to comment, when I was around 14 I started a couple different web design/graphic design "businesses" that were incorporated under my dad's name (can't incorporate at 14 in the US, obviously). Ran them until I was 17 or so and got a real job working at an Ad agency. Pretty much just let go of the rest of it in favor of a much bigger paycheck... then I went to college and totally left all that behind.

I can tell you right now that when you're young, your priorities change VERY quickly. What's really cool one day, can be super lame the next. Also, when girls start coming into the picture you quickly want to stop being a "CEO" and start putting your dick into things. Once that happens everything pretty much takes a back seat to getting laid.

So just a word of caution to anyone buying servers from homie up there... your shit might just shut off one day and without an actual support staff and company behind the product, you'll have no recourse to getting things resolved.

That said, the kid might be legit and turn this into a full time business if it works out, but the chances of that happening are probably pretty slim.

Don't wink at you?

Well customers are given my steam profile link, so they are able to contact me on Steam. So if anybody posts on my friends list, that is why.

I answer and respond to honest questions relating to EmberCore.

And it seems only to a few I come off as a really shady, or creepy in this case, character. I've been running a community for 3 years, and now a Game Server Company for 2 months. If you ask anybody in my community or in my company, you will get answers from relative people. Not people like Tragic who has another Game Server REselling company. I mean not to be mean, but if Tragic were to make a post, and I had a company, I wouldn't support it and I'd probably be pissed just simply because it's a "rival" company. It's nature. So if you are interested in a Game Server, I'm sure you can get in contact with a few EmberCore Server Owners. They will give you the straight answer to any question you have if you think I'm shady.

Duder, you do speak the truth, luckily for the world I prioritize business over anything else. I've had a girlfriend for a year and she could tell you herself, I put all the time I can into anything on the computer. Dexndes or Embercore, I'd rather be working on those than being outside practically.

No I'm talking about when you had, in the midst of many hard-pressing questions, people with one post on natf2 singing their praises of your servers. You should answer every question, not just ones that meet your criteria.
I haven't seen a single member of natf2's community say anything good about you or your company. You single out tragic but I don't think enigma owns a server company and he's asking some brilliant questions too.

It really doesn't make sense to me why you have in your head that you think I'm "pissed" or see you as a "rival". I actually tried to help you because I agree with game servers should be cheap, etc. What I don't agree with is you just posting false information and information that changes on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis and you've only been around for two months like you said. At the end of the day I don't really care what you do. I just hate seeing people being misinformed when they put money into something they expect to work and last. Just please get my name out of your mouth. It's pretty annoying.

Not just enigma. Go read the first thread he made.

I'm going to answer these in order.

1. We have 960GB SSD's, simply becuase I got them free with Newegg after purchasing 2 Dedicated Server Complete component Packages. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227788)

2. The 1 dedicated core was meant to be for anybody who purchased the Addon. I never actually said I'd host 90 servers that were customers on one box, I said that the servers could handle that many in a maxout stress test attempt.

3. I have 2 people who also cover LiveChat and Support Tickets, Robin and Nicholas Bizzozero. And myself of course.

4. I colocated one of my servers in Pennsylvania (which was a closer drive than chicago) to test, and found that I would have to keep my server there for the remainder of the month due to the Terms of Use I agreed to before colocating.

5. I do honestly feel bad, I did lie. We weren't Dos Attacked, my community Dexndes.com had been attacked and figured it was a good excuse.

6. We host our Master Tcadmin 2 server from one of their dedicated Servers.

7. 3tb was meant to be the Bandwidth Per Month, that basically says you won't ever run out of bandwidth in a lifetime using that amount, but we get that per month on each Node.

A few people created accounts just to try to help the cause of EmberCore, but they were just blown away by the gusts of hot air.

Redban, Shlaner, Logic ask them. They are around I'm sure. They have servers from me.

Glad to hear you aren't mad or in a rival mode actually. Well Tragic, if you find me annoying by asking you a question, that's a bit odd. I guess I do get annoyed with people call me out on things too.

Prices change, it happens. Locations are now planted. The price $15.00 is our base price from now on.

We had to make a few changes just because we were so dry for the first month that if we kept on asking just $10.00 we would be bankrupt within a few months. Preexisting customers still pay $10.00, not $15.00.

are you overnighting your $20000 servers to new locations every week or something?

No I'm not Enigma, I actually drove them around myself for the first few locations, I'm done with that though. I'm going to be renting preconfigured Dedicated Servers of similar calibur from now on. That will save me money and save me time.

Called out on what? lol

what is newegg's take on returning $40000 worth of hardware

who the hell gave you all this money?

????

That's a no go xD.

Even if they did accept returns, I'd rather keep my servers as I've already fully paid them off. and colocating is cheaper.

I also did not pay 40,000 for my 2 servers combined from Newegg. It was more around $5,000

Parents credit card.. Blackfoger v2. Case closed.

Why would newegg give you two free 2.5k SSDs when you spend 5k?

I made a lot of money from my job, and got about 400 dollars from http://steamcommunity.com/groups/dexndes

Dexndes has been a great help simply because it's full of really close members who care.

they gave you $6000 worth of free SSDs for purchasing $5000 worth of other stuff???????

They had a promotion if you purchased a certain motherboard you would get a free SSD, but it was only 400GB or so, I asked if I purchased two and a lot of other components if I could get a larger SSD.

why would you quote them as 900 GB SSDs instead of 960?

why would you round down?

The SSD I linked was just one similar to the one I own. I don't have the exact name but I'm sure it wasn't a Talos.

The SSD I own is 900GB. Not 960, like I said earlier I just linked a Similar SSD.

I am not willing to track down and publish what I purchased specifically. Hope you understand.

Why can't you just link the exact one? Newegg has a pretty good order history.
