Not interested in free stuff from them. It's not worth my time.

It's like returning a product because it is defective and getting a free, additionally defective product instead of your money back. Um..... why is that good?

early access to some cool new things... Lame.

Tell him that you'll be happy to Alpha test their products for a fee.

That's where it would make sense. We not only returned the stuff we paid for, we returned the free stuff too. It is literally too costly to use their free stuff.

Crazy results earlier today on both of my C@C systems:

Someone must have been attempting to save a 5k file.

Holy hell, I've never seen a ten minute average like that, ever!!

You literally hit thrashing there. 0% available CPU. Was that machine idle? This is epic performance fail.

FTFY

[Danp]

@scottalanmiller Yes, both boxes were completely idle at the time.

[dafyre]

Looks like they fixed mine. My box is totally idle at the moment, just restored my OwnCloud instance last night.

[Danp]

@dafyre You should look at the numbers from yesterday afternoon to see if your box shows the same results as mine did.

[dafyre]

@Danp I got it activated again last night at 10:45PM... IOWait was still low then... 0.03 %

So did anyone actually get their refund from C@C. @scottalanmiller did @ntg ?

[Danp]

Still waiting on my Paypal dispute to go through. In the mean time, saw this interesting exchange on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mylifethisworld/status/597246317115666432

[A Former User]

Today was the last time they could respond to my paypal claim so I guess paypal will refund my money tomorrow or so as they haven't responded.

[Danp]

@thecreativeone91 Still a few days before the time is up on mine. Let us know if you receive the refund.

So, they plan to eliminate all of the old plans, and they advertise SSD but then deliberately limit your IO without notifying you.

So now C@C is discounting the old stuff.. hmm @scottalanmiller would love to see this.

[Sparkum]

I think we all knew/assumed they would be getting rid of the old options.

Honestly as a business move this might actually bring some income in for them.

Had to get rid of the "one price forever" option eventually.

I see they upgraded the monitor console to a nice latest gen model as well.
