• The Old Design Of My Biggest Complaint

    OK, so it’s not old yet. It will be in a couple of days because we are happy to announce that we are completely redesigning the look and structure of our site.
    Don’t panic. Don’t complain… yet.
    First things first - why redesign?
    When we started My Biggest Complaint a few months back, we did not anticipate the […]

  • 8 Word Complaints

    Sometimes people will submit complaints to mybiggestcomplaint that are about 8 words. It makes me wonder if they fingers are too tired to type more or they just not very good at elaborating. Either way, it doesn’t make for a very entertaining read and it’s hard to muster support for a complaints that […]

  • Web Hosting Hostage Crises – Our Experience with PolurNET

    Earlier this year this website, mybiggestcomplaint.com had a major breakthrough. Our website got a great review from a prestigious blog, Download Squad, which had lots of push power and influence. Our little site went from a fledgling site with a few hundred hits a day to thousands of daily visitors quite literally, in a matter […]

  • “Hello world!”

    “Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!”
    That famous first post of every Wordpress blog is like the shot heard round the world for some people. That little post has the 15 most famous words in blogging so how could I have a complaint about it?
    My biggest complaint […]

    • btw, poster... watch your spelling on "explainatory". Try "explanatory" next time. We won't hold it against you :), you seem like an "intelligent person with a genuine complaint" and that's what we like.

    • @rizhii, Dreamhost.

    • A few updates to the update:

      • All user pages have now been activated regardless of whether or not that user has posted a complaint. In the past, a user had to post a complaint to have their user page activated. In other words, lurkers and heavy commentators can now use the friends system without having to post a complaint.
      • You can now track votes of your friends on your user page in addition to posts and comments of your friends.

      We are continuing to make a few more improvements here and there and welcome your feedback.

    • We're guessing you are talking about the excerpt description that appears as you hover over complaint titles on the first page? We will work on it and see what we can to do make it better for you. Thanks for the suggestion.

    • @WHT Forum User, thanks for taking the time to post the link to that discussion. We encourage everybody interested in the topic visit the thread suggested above. We think the people from Polurnet believed that if they screamed loudly enough, contradicted themselves over and over, posted only the support tickets that made them look good, demonstrated that they really had no idea what was going on (then or now), and called us liars, that it somehow made them right. Mostly, Polurnet has continually said that we deserved to be suspended for our increase in traffic and attempted to suggest that we had problems with this. As stated in this compliant and in that thread, we believe we deserved to be suspended. The way Polurnet handled the issue and the support from the company was our issue. If you are considering choosing Polurnet to be your hosting company, my advice to you is to read this complaint and our review. Then go to the thread and read the Polurnet's postings. You will begin to see a pattern. First, Polurnet's own words support virtually everything they we stated about them and this incident here. Second, you may start to wonder about the professionalism of their staff. The tone that they exhibit in the thread is the same one that we got AFTER we had a traffic spike. And lastly, our experiences with them indicates that this is a small company. Make sure you understand that you are dealing with a company of a few employees and this has both negative and positive ramifications. Honestly, we don't care if you chose Polurnet or not. You may read all this and still believe that Polurnet is the right company for you. That's what reviews are all about.

    • @DBlock, keeping people out of the bell tower is what we're all about.

    • Thanks for the post bes and sorry for the confusion. We emailed about 4 or 5 of what we thought were the best writers that we saw at peeve week. The text of the email was the same, but all emails were sent from the contact forms or email addresses provide on the respective authors' blogs. We kinda thought that's what the contact forms were for. Sorry if we bugged you. In any event, thanks for complaining and we hope to hear more from you!

    • To remind those users with nosey co-workers or bosses breathing down your necks - you can post complaints by email to complaints@mybiggestcomplaint.com. Email complaints get posted just like regular complaints and if you are sending from the email address of a registered user, the complaint is posted for that user, otherwise, as anonymous as ever. So don't hestitate to shoot out a quick email complaint from work every now and then.
