wrong forum posting...
Does it piss you off that almost everyone posts whatever they want in Web Hosting Forum? Like topics that are having nothing to do with Hosting in there? (It just set me off when I saw the post about "How WHT Has Changed you")

Sure, it makes some work for the mods to move them. But you can't expect everyone to be perfect, like us.
So, no. It doesn't upset me.There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

I've noticed a few new comers to the forum immediately break the rules by posting in the wrong forum and use the fact they are new as a defence. It's simple common sense that a review of your site should go in the web site review forums. Maybe in the generic email that goes to users when they sign up could include a few bullet pointed, bold instructions with a few dos and dont's?
