QQ what's a good hosting provider these days?

[SquareWheel]

Whatchya trying to host?  Looking for a VPS, dedicated server, shared web hosting?

I'm currently using NameCrane for low-end stuff.  Then I have an Oracle cloud instance for ARM gaming servers.  I have a dedicated box through Namecheap of all places for some professional hosting.

[Tinister]

A whole box?  What's on it?

[SquareWheel]

Client sites for work.  I handle the dev side of things, and fell into the role of occasional sysadmin, too.  Not that I mind; WHM takes care of most tasks for me.

[Tinister]

Is that the name of an LLM?

[SquareWheel]

Nope, it stands for WebHost Manager.  Think of it as the root-level version of cPanel.  You can manage accounts and administrative tasks, configure PHP installs, monitor services, edit DNS zones, etc.

You can see https://trywhm.net/ for a demo.

The website, "Jumper Community Forums" began in 2004 as the Jumper Game Maker Community thread's moderators refused the posting of Jumper levels in the thread, as they were not excercises in Game Maker, but a bunch of almost interchangeable files made to inflate Thorson's ego.

[switch 2 punyan, nya~]

A few hundred Jumper levels and Jumper 2 sectors were posted across grdgamers (Thorson's prior base of operations), GMC and JCF.

I came across the website GamingW in 2003 while looking for RPG Maker related files and in 2004, someone there linked to the Jumper thread on GMC, pretending to be Thorson for some reason. I read the thread and started collecting levels and fanart as nobody else seemed to be doing it.

Almost immediately JCF was raided by furries as part of the same pedophiliac wave that created 4chan. You can follow the chronicled endeavors of said pedophiliacs by reading up on the histories of websites such as SomethingAwful.com, Rotten.com, Newgrounds.com, GameFAQs.com and so on.

The furries stuck around, some of them requesting to be granted mod status. Eventually, one of the furries deleted all posts on JCF, slightly after a discussion started around fairies. I interpret this as Kobolds being afraid of the Fae.

JCF was quickly followed by Helix Games Community, another board for the discussion of Thorson's games. At this point I no longer paid attention to the behind the scenes, focusing on collecting the files instead. Eventually HGC was shut down and Sulsay (LT) let Dabomstew's new site become the main platfrm for the Thorson circlejerk.

[switch 2 punyan, nya~]

The new site, Helix Community bled members who had gotten tired of said circlejerk, the furries and even the basic act of discussing videogames.

In 2006 or so, one of the furries probated me and more or less every post I made from that point 'til around 2023 was me trying to get said furry to stop posting, hence all the low-effort spamlike garbage I've posted over the years. Calling them out on their rape fantasies seems to have finally done the trick.
