Not for general information as a table that needs to be updated in picture perfect mode. So you're supposed to look only at the VPSs linked in the Announcement for any given Giveaway - and the link will be limited to only the VPSs that are available for the Giveaway. You're not supposed to look at the other VPSs. We only update VPSs or add new ones in the Comparison Table. We don't remove VPSs. If there is VPS information that is out of date in the list of VPSs that are linked for the Giveaway Announcement, then please let me know. But please don't expect me to update the list outside the framework of use it's intended for. Also consider that the staff here are doing this as a voluntary service.
That's correct Dean. Every staff in Post4VPS is a volunteer, including @
Dynamo itself since he runs this website with his own money (I never know if there is any possibilites for sponsor to pay P4V, but that's very unusual, so I can assume that nobody pay Dynamo in this case).
You also said that this VPS comparator only take effect for giveaways only. We know that at
54th Giveaway there is a VPS 9 available there. As far as I know, VPS 9 already fully moved from OpenVZ to KVM. But the comparator doesn't updated with this change.

In my experience new members rarely look at the comparison table until they participate in their first Giveaway. For information about the VPSs new members are usually guided to the VPS Plans. And the VPS Holder List. If you find anything out of date there, let me know.
Some of new members may only look at the VPS plans, but the comparator is such a big difference. You can look up on vertical line which one has the biggest RAM, which one allow GS or not, and others. Also looking at VPS Plans pages, it may difficult to compare one VPS with others.
And I also consider myself as a new members. I haven't visited this forum for a while, like 3 or so months. When I visited this forum again, I look into the giveaway page, and found that there is no VPS 13 available. I was, "Wow! Someone already takes VPS 13." Then I look into VPS comparator, it's still there, so I assume that it's still available to take (if someone lose it). But then, I found that HostDoc already out of service. So I'm confused with the info.
Ps. I've
reviewed VPS 8 by Cubedata back then, it allow us to choose custom swap (since you install it at your own). I already tag Dynamo there, but until now the comparator still not updated. Is this considered as no swap?
