EDIT2: I would also like to point out that most of what Ben says comes to pass...
Ben comes on a new server advert and says things like " this server will close in a month ", "this server is corrupt", "this is a donation server and only in it for the money", " this server is ran by idiots who have not got a clue", "this server is ran from a home PC" etc... etc... etc..... is it any wonder that the server does not last?
Many people know Ben is full of crap and don't listen, but anyone who don't know him or is new, will definitely be influenced by his comments.
Once Ben starts spamming, he is quickly followed by his mates and the advert is very quickly ruined = this is the issue people are complaining about :angry:
servers do shut down within a month despite server owners saying 'Why say that Ben? I'm here for the long term etc etc.'. an example being Oasis server.
Again, Ben ripped the Oasis advert to shreds at every opportunity right up until it closed.
Those who lisen to Ben tend to improve their server and those who don't tend to run it into the ground.
Who has listened to Ben and still going?
Those who get their feelings hurt jump on the Ben hating band wagon and it is this constant sniping at Ben that does have a negative impact.
Nobody has a go at Ben until he starts it, and that's a fact!
I am not defending him as he does snipe back, but really, do we really need constant provocation for provocations sake? at least ben makes constructive posts rather than just pointless aggrevation.
If you believe that statement your truly disillusion! What is constructive in saying " This server will shut in a month" ?
I predicted that Ben would lose interest in 4H mid rate because a mid rate is much harder to make cash from than a high rate server.
I predicted that Ben would give 4H mid rate away and open a high rate.
I predicted that Ben would go back on his word and start selling Kit, rather than just the buffs and stuff he was selling on Mid rate.
I predicted that 4H high rate would start to become similar to Old Skool where people who donated got a big advantage over those who did not.
Guess what? I was correct on all of them :thumbup1:
Did I feel the need to post all of my predictions all over the 4H advert? = NO
Do I feel like I need to tell everyone so the avoid Ben's server? = NO
Do I copy all the negative comments on 4H forums and paste them here to prove my point? = NO
Do I feel clever for being correct about the above and want recognition? = NO
At the end of the day, server owners should concentrate on there own server and let the players decide for themselves what they think about other servers.
Paul, Dan ,Tallos and the other server advertisers never said anything negative about Ben's server and left it alone. They only ever bit back once Ben started with his games.
I agree Paul posted that Ben had used key loggers, but if you read his post properly, he did say that it was a lie and he only said it to prove a point. Shortly before, Ben had just posted a blatant lie saying Paul's server was run from a home pc and he was telling players he had a dedi. This was totally untrue and uncalled for, but Ben got away with it while Paul got infracted, warned and I believe banned.
