rondog Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I see this advertisement on the site http://www.webhostfreaks.com/ I checked it out and it looks kinda of sketchy. It says it is "Awesome web hosting by PHPFreaks". Is that site affiliated with this forum in any way?

.josh Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Yes. I can't speak one way or the other whether it is "awesome" but the owner of this site also owns that company.

rondog Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 hah ok gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. I saw they are affiliated with linuxforum too and on their site it says 45,000 members yet when I went there they only had like 400 members or something Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/219744-webhost-freaks/#findComment-1139270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 As far as the huge discrepancy in numbers...not gonna outright point fingers because I don't know nor have access to verify anything buuuut...wouldn't be the first time I've seen/heard of people flubbing numbers to puff up their image. However, I do know that at one point in time it did use have a fair amount of members but due to some mishaps, the site pretty much went dead and got redirected to a forum here for a couple years, and was recently rezzed. Those numbers could possibly be old stats. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/219744-webhost-freaks/#findComment-1139272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Seems like it's been a while since that page was updated. LinuxForum did once have that many members and Eric recently started the site again. It's a long time ago since MySQLFreaks and ApacheFreaks was shut down. PHPFreaks now also has over 100k members instead of 38k. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/219744-webhost-freaks/#findComment-1139426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
