Okay, I've given it a couple of days, and although I don't have much of a site built yet I'm satisfied with the service.
I was a good little person and waited out the CGI default page thing, which took less than 6 hours to be resolved (as opposed to the 24-48 hours I was told to expect), cPanel hasn't exploded on me, there's no problem with any of the functions I've tried out, and so forth.
As far as the forum goes, I found answers to all of my questions without having to ask anyone anything, I like the staff and how even as volunteers working on it all in their free time they actually seem to care, and the amount of real knowledge being shared here far exceeds that which I've found on other free hosting forums.
I learned a long time ago that most of the problems I had with websites and hosting were due to my own combined ignorance and impatience, and seeing how patient the staff and other members are with people who are the way I once was is also reassuring. It's one of the hallmarks of a real community, that the people who help maintain it have the experience to not only provide help and information, but are also able to be friendly about it.
If my site actually goes anywhere I may look into the paid hosting here, as it's far less expensive than some others out there and the free hosting is better so far than a few paid hosts I've had to deal with in the past. Things work, people care, and for once in my life I haven't even had to face a nerd rush upon joining a forum.
Keep up the good work, and I look forward to being right about my first impressions with your hosting service!
