Call me stupid
« on: February 26, 2001, 04:07:00 PM »
If you are using tripod.com for the sole purpose of storing files, ya better rethink!   Just got a message today saying I'm no longer a member. Then I read their "terms of service" (I think I shoulda done that before  ). Says no "Remote Loading"...

Remote loading - The practice of using Tripod and Angelfire for the sole purpose of storing files or pictures for use on another web site, auction site, or for back-up purposes.

40 meg of images, files, movies, gunfilm, gifs down the drain. Assassins webpage has been hit hard. I'll try to get it fixed this evening.

There are several images I've posted on the web for people over the past year, that are lost.   Sorry.

I'm done with the *free* webspace.

At times like this I can't help but think my DSL service kicks ass.

Even though I do not know you, I have come to believe thru the message board and online in the MA, that you are a decent man.

Therefore, I respectfully decline the invitation to call you stupid. It just wouldn't be very nice

It was nice of them to warn you or heaven forbid ASK you to move them before they planted their foot in your butt.

Terms of Service translation:

We are dweebs and cannot think of our own useful content to provide to surfers. Instead, we'll use the content and efforts of legions of "subscribers" to surround our banner ads and support our advertising revenue.

We'd say thank you, but we don't really need to. You think it's a good deal to post your stuff here while we make money from it.

Well, OK. Thanks. Now, don't use this space in any way that might not bring surfers to our pages proper. We need to be able to float ads, build in ads, cull e-mail addresses to sell to spammers, or anything else we can think of to generate ad revenue. Did we mention we want the ad revenue?

Live & learn Hblair. The cost of higher education is always high, especially at the school of hard knocks!
