KENTROPOLIS
"People Before Technology"™

GeeksBearingGifts.Com was registered by Ken
Stuczynski of Kentropolis Web Development & Design on a whim in a silly grudge
match with a hosting company, and then became what it is today to better serve
its clients and the general public. Here is the story.
Back in late 2002, Kentropolis Internet Services switched its
hosting provider (for itself and its clients). This was done for a number of reasons,
but when they found out Kentropolis made a public statement that it was dumping
the company in question, some inspiring emails
ensued, where a representative of that company (that I have been told is no
longer working for them) offered free web space for supposed publicity.
She insisted she was serious, yet of course didn't live up to her promise.
But it caused Ken of Kentropolis to check the availability of various spoof
names, and to his amazement, "GeeksBearingGifts.Com" was available. Thus an idea was born.
But with the domain in hand, it was decided to create a
consumer education site for Kentropolis to refer to its clients and
prospective customers. Now as word has been catching on, it has become
an excuse to help countless people with Internet problems caused by the less
ethical businesses and individuals out there.
This site is for consumer resources, warnings, the promotion
of common sense, and protection from scams and swindles. If you use the
Internet at all, this site is for you.
