I own http://www.forumadminforum.com/ and it is hosted on dreamhost. Is dreamhost bad for hosting forums? There have been 3 times in the last month when my site was down but 1 of them was system-wide. If my website starts to make some decent income i will move to a different host. Are there any other cheap hosts that would run my site better?

Despite what some might tell you, the grass is NOT always greener on the other side.
I have used DreamHost since the end of December and, for the most part, service is excellent. I have one vBulletin forum (www.theparacast.com/forums), two MyBB forums, and a WordPress site with two databases. The vBulletin forum is 14 months old, and only migrated to this application last December. We get a growing amount of traffic, which has recently risen to 50-200 posts a day. Believe me, if there were persistent problems, I wouldn't stay where I am, but there haven't been.
Unlike other hosts, DreamHost puts its system status clearly on its home page, with extensive detail. They also allow customers to vent with very little or not attempt at censoring (even allowing the "frank" language).
Peace,
