    We live in a free world, what's the problem if they try to run yet another hosting forum.

    It doesn't mean it will be useful and successful but they can still try .

    Yeah that's true. I do see some familiar names over there though.

    That sites template sickens me though

    They don't get success because they're not unique.

    It's mine and I made it because I can - if you don't like it then don't sign up and post

    It doesn't get success because I've had virtually no time to work on it - you don't have to be unique to get success it just takes a *LOT* of work to start a forum and get it successful.

    The logo I tossed together in PhotoShop in about 10 seconds, it's two ovals (a white one over a blue one) and some text.

    The thing is it was originally very different from WHT but then everybody was complaining that "this section" or "that section" was missing etc... Oh well

    At any rate as soon as I have more time and I'm able to enact the plans that I have for the forum I anticipate it to grow fairly steadily. The goal isn't to take over web hosting discussion just as my goal was never to take over web hosting by starting a host but simply to co-exist with WHT and the other smaller web hosting forums out there.

    I do appreciate your feedback though!

    Looks fine to me....
    I myself life the forum and enjoy the design. You guys are kind of making it sound like if hostgator is dominating the market why make a company at all just with forums XD

    That was my thought haha - there are millions of web hosts - sure there are only a few "amazing" ones and only a few that "dominate" the market but people apparently seem to think that there is always room for more hosts doing more of the same thing as everybody else.

    The hosting industry is *huge* - why is there only room for one forum?

    I do appreciate the feedback however - positive or negative - I'm always looking to improve in every venture that I get involved in.

    It was a lot different but people complained that they wanted this section or that section.

    I'll have to see if I can find some older screen-shots when it was totally unique and everybody was complaining haha.

    I personally prefer Web hosting board over this site do to it being a bit more friendly.
    It was also set up around the time this site as having major issues and some people thought it might be at it's end.

    I learned something valuable from it today on my first visit that I haven't learned here in yonks demonstrating that the fountain of knowledge is greater than the tap of bigotry.

    I don't mind the design - it's clean and simple. Can't we all just get along?

    Could you please provide more detail on how exactly you aren't liking the design? I personally think our designer Justin did a wonderful job on the design.

    Sam didn't want to wait a week or two for more contestants to enter so he pulled his design and said he was going to sell it to somebody else. I don't know if he ever did or not.
