[wp-hackers] WPMU gets b*tch-slapped on DreamHost

[Joost de Valk]

Well if you use it to "auto generate" massive amounts of "content",  
it's obviously a resource hog.

I guess this "trusted" partner of WordPress (they're listed on the  
wp.org hosting page) would rather blame their partners product than  
their own spam control team. With friends like that, who needs enemies?
