I'll keep this short. Refer to this thread for the trouble caused by Darren:

Fortunately, Leaseweb has decided to put all systems online until the 2nd of December, 2011. Now, for some people, that kind of time frame just isn't enough; especially if they're looking to migrate to another provider (you can't expect every provider to deploy a dedicated within hours).
EDIT: LW has extended the grace period to 5th December. Read here:

This thread is aimed at helping some of those out, somehow. Following the RS mess up, I've just bought a server on flexible contract pricing and can keep it online for longer than 2nd December. Probably up to 5th or 8th December, as needed. However, the space is limited. After the install, I have about 2.7TB of space left, so I can only house so many users.
That said, BoxSlots Ltd also wants to chip in. They can afford about 8-9TB of space on their servers for the people who want to temporarily store their data while they search for a new provider.
EDIT: KnownSrv (Krun!x) is also chipping in. Any requests for space have to come to me, though, and I'll forward them to either of these 2 based on how many I'm getting.
How will this be done?
I will personally be providing the end users with FTP access to upload their files, and FTP/HTTP access to retrieve them after. I'll help them out in case they're unable to figure out how to do the backups.
BoxSlots will be providing virtual containers for those that need them.
Rules:
- I'm going to limit this to 200GB/user MAX. If you need more than that, PM me and explain why. And for how long, since space is limited.
How:
- PM me if you need temporary storage space, and I'll hook you up.
Term:
The most I and BoxSlots can do is 8th December, 2011. 10 days from today is more than adequate time to be up and running on an alternative provider.
I assume Krun!x is going to do it until 8th December too. IMO, that time frame is quite enough.
P.S: Space is limited, so we may not be able to help every user. First come, first serve. And, if you wish to chip in (assuming you have extra space), PM me.
