Stupid HTML-stripping.

LOOSE == NOT TIGHT

LOSE == MISPLACE, DECREASE

LOSING IS A WORD.

LOOSING IS *NOT* A WORD.

I’m always amazed when people who use an International programme through the wonders of technology, suddenly present themselves, with such ignorance to the rest of the world. Checking someone else’s spelling, on an open forum, has to be the worst form, epecially when there own lack of punctuation is so poor.
Perhaps snewp should have posted in his own native language and left you to decipher his comments for yourself, instead he chose to share in our native language, showing just how enept we in the western world truly are. ‘We’ have an expectation of others to adopt ‘our’ language.

I’m getting the same BS from Dreamhost you are. I have a terribly slow website. It’s been fine for months until this weekend.. now it’s been awful for 72 hours.

Dreamhost has claimed everything is “FINE” 4 times now.. and it’s clearly not.. anyone who took 1 minute to check the fix would have been the connection is awful, terribly slow.

My advertisers are up in arms.

I have one piece of advise to anyone reading this. BE CAREFUL.

Dreamhost so far has not resolved the problem, and has been literally terrible about responding. There are 600+ open support tickets.

Let’s see how they respond to this today. I’m going to file a comprehensive BBB report if they do not resolve this morning.

I have been told on numerous occasions, ‘all is fine here, must be your end’ or such as ‘it must be your html coding that has changed’ or ‘we have checked the link to your test page, and it all runs fine from here, maybe you need to reduce your images so they download faster’. Well according to my bandwidth checker, the 1.5tb bandwidth is either being shared with the entire population of India, or they have swapped their connection to the server, with an old fax modem!

All this sort of BS does, is create wrath and frustration, subsequently more and more ‘ticked emails’ to the support centre. My business activites, like many posted here, rely on a paid for service. Irrespective of how much you pay, there should not automatically be an opinion ‘you get what you pay for’, unless its totally free. The advertisement in my contract states 99.9% uptime, I assumed that useable uptime, not simply a dribbling tap connection for the past 3 days!

I have several hosting servers all mirrored with the same files, so can ‘although time consuming’ swap the url access to keep my business going to some extent. Beleive it or not, some are cheaper than Dreamhost and have been running flawlessly.

Is what I’m getting for my domain http://www.psycrotic.com (It also has nothing to do with my domain registration since my domain holder has promised to keep it for a few days).
