[01:31] awyeah: yeah, files that are deleted but still have an open file descriptor somewhere will "take up" space [01:31] a fifo shouldn't take up space though :) [01:31] i know, just sayin'...

[06:01] then, instead of spending time improving things for company the existing customer base, it's a scramble to service new customers. while i'm making wide-sweeping and perhaps-unfair generalizations, i also believe people who focus on cost above all else are more likely to complain when they feel they've been wronged. [06:03] and of course, as we all know, there already exists an unfair bias in most online reviews. i would guess a much larger percentage of people write reviews to complain versus people writing to say things are awesome. [06:11] my only first-hand experience with this is from an MSP perspective, but i think a lot of the same concepts hold true. recognizing the low-quality customers and identifying how they can affect the experience of existing customers (and the business as a whole) was always a challenge, as well as finding ways to incentivize those existing customers to keep them onboard. [06:11] i guess that's really just a general business thing, actually. i've already had way too much coffee today.

[19:02] Now I feel a $5 offering wouldn't necessarily help... but maybe $7... grab the lower end market, but not the _lowest_ end [19:04] maybe $8? [19:04] I think it's almost a tie... half of the feedback was go for lower prices, but the other half is "I'd rather have stability over price" [19:04] mercutio: i think $7 feels like a good sweet spot [19:04] it's closer to $5 than it is to $10 [19:05] technically, $8 is already available with the WHT coupon code... [19:12] as johnny-o said, a lot of the people who want to pay less are more likely to complain.. [19:12] i actually don't know how true that is, i just feel it :) [19:54] that's actually pretty true [19:55] years and years ago when we did just web hosting, it was always the like $2 guys that complained the most [20:41] I like $7... $8 "feels"relatively "high" (silly i know), mayb... 7.50? 7.99? [21:11] $7.80? :) [21:22] 789 should be fun to type :) [21:34] $789 ? :) [22:05] Well $7.89 because it's sequential/adjacent.
