    I've been using <a href="http://www.site5.com/">Site 5</a> for about half a year now to host a small fansite I run and am happy with them and they're pretty cheap. They don't have the same uptime that Ev1 has (I used the Ev1 webspace that accompanied the dial-up service for years and can barely recall when my little page was ever down) but not including small maintence duties where they announce it, I think it's only been down once or twice - where I noticed - and only once was it several hours. I only run a small fansite, so no customers or anything, and get around 10-15 GB transfer a month. The Site5 forums are pretty cool with really helpful people.

    Yea, aeroman10 was the one that gave me the tip that they were hiring, and Miguel was the one that influenced me to apply for Time Warner when he got hired. So I applied both, technically i had the Time Warner job in the bag, and literally mins after I had my second of 3 interviews with TW, Verizon called me to setup an interview and got hired the week after. Moneys talks so... I went with Verizon. :)

    be very prepared, like I stated, especially at night, there is only like 5 people, they merged Customer Service, Sales, and Tech Support a few months back, so its pretty crazy hold times. When i visited last Saturday night, the hold time was like 45 mins.

    Chris Schottie, went to Smackdown with us? Yup, he's still there, and working hard to get out.

    are you serious? Damn, when did u leave? I was actually hired on Feb. 29, 2000 and started working like March 2. You mustve known all the people that started like John Sitton and his brother, Kelvin (who can forget that crazy dude) and Ed. I still keep in touch with them today.

    Not surprised, alot of people still have theres and left ages ago, i still have mine in which was one of my main accounts but now use my gmail account mainly.
