Quote from fthsjustin :crap offers they are i tell ya

500 servers has the worst of the worst crew when i tried out that server for a day thing uh... a month ago and got no response

your lucky you got to try a server for a day, most people are not that generous, 500servers hosts most of the LFS servers we see today. how about you give them a break they are flat out and they do a great Job!
