So, just today, I got a message on the RTB IRC from some dude named Ender. He said he needed some help building and eventing a City RP. It was kind of random, because he actually didn't know who I was until just today. But, I decided to help him out.
When I tried to join his server, I found out that his ping was ---. He told me that his granddad wouldn't let him forward his ports, so I told him there was no way he would be able to host a server on his desktop. I recommended that he use a hosting service, but he said that he doesn't like to spend money just so he can host a server. But, it was his only option, so he decided to use one anyway (his granddad won't let him touch the router).
I recommended that he use Kaphost or RTB, since those are the two most well-known hosting services out there. I told him that, in my opinion, RTB is more reliable but Kaphost is slightly cheaper. He decided to go with RTB. However, he couldn't register because he forgot his RTB password. I told him to go to the RTB forums, head to the login and tell them that he forgot his password. I then told him to type in his email and username and have them send the confirmation email. However, it turns out he forgot is username and email as well, and the email was one of his friends' emails (he claims that every time he registers on a website, the activation email is never received). So, obviously, he's screwed with RTB.
So, he then decided to go with Kaphost, but according to him, Kaphost uses only an FTP client for add-on uploading (I use RTB, so I can't confirm this). He said that he has no experience with FTP clients, so he's screwed with that too.
He decided to just give up, he unfriended me on the IRC (like I care) and he logged out.
IRC chat right as he logged out:
[Ender]: I have no experience with FTP clients, so I'm screwed with Kaphost too.
[Clone2]: Well, I can't help you then.
[Ender]: I'm obviously better off with a desktop server.
[Ender]: Thanks for the help.
[Ender]: Oh wait, NOT!
*Ender logged out.
*You and Ender are no longer friends.
Obviously, this guy, whoever he is, doesn't realize that I tried my best. It's not my fault he always uses his friend's email for registering on websites, it's not my fault he forgot his username and password for RTB, it's not my fault his granddad won't let him touch the router and it's not my fault that he has no FTP experience.
