Guess what, dudes? Dreamhost Sucks! Wanna know why we have an F rating with the BBB? Because the Better Business Bureau is a racket, and you have to be a paying member of the BBB to even reply to complaints filed against you. Hooray for free speech!

The soft-opening preview days leading up to February 8th, 2001 were jam-packed and full of people! Where had everybody gone? Opening day was a ghost…
