In terms of being "heard of," we may not be well-known to the GFY community (hence our reason for running promos specifically for GFY), but you're welcome to Google us and search for us on forums like WebHostingTalk for more information.
For the record, we do provide 24/7 support and server management, however this promotion targets larger adult webmasters interested primarily in bandwidth.
Our reason for advertising in this particular forum is because we are a paid GFY sponsor, with weekly pinned threads and the banner. GFY site operators have dictated that this forum is where our posts should go.

This is my whole point, you have no "street credit" here. Just because you're a paid advertiser and you've been around for however long, it's obvious that you don't understand the needs of the webmasters that post here so nobody is going to come running to host with you.
If a company like techiemedia, natnet, isprime, mojo, etc came on here and offered a similar deal they would get alot of business....but to us you're just another host, here today and gone next month. (I'm not saying you will be gone, but we've seen to many come and go over the years to leave who we're with for a "price match")
Also this part

is pretty offensive.
Why would I give a flying fuck if your management takes me seriously? You're the one who's here trying to get our money, we're not the ones begging for someone to sell us bandwidth.
You need to go back to sales school.
