Title: Call me stupid
Post by: hblair on February 26, 2001, 04:07:00 PM: If you are using tripod.com for the sole purpose of storing files, ya better rethink! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) 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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)). 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. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) Sorry.

I'm done with the *free* webspace.

Post by: Ice on February 26, 2001, 04:53:00 PM: 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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

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?

$8.25 a month for 50mb seems to be the best deal I could find. Very reliable and quick. Register a domain for $35 a year or less and pay icom $29.85 every three months (after a $49.00 setup) and away you go (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
If anyone knows a cheaper host, please post.

Post by: Kratzer on February 28, 2001, 12:19:00 PM: Why not do this?

Make a single web page on tripod.com

Have it display some of the pictures you have on their server.

Put a nice title at the top that says 'My Pictures!'

Put a note that says you will be rotating the pictures on a regular basis.

Then don't.

You are not using them for the 'sole' purpose of storage. You are using them to host your picture page, which you update regularly, which explains why you have more pictures than posted pictures.

voila.

Post by: Twist on March 04, 2001, 04:46:00 PM: I guess I was raised a bit differently than a lotta folks. There is no way I could ever call my CO the 'S' word. Used to get my butt tore up when I called my siblings the 'S' word and the 'I' word, so I'm not about to start now.

However, I didn't spend 9 years in this countries Air Force without learning a few things about properly addressing officers in all situations while still retaining my military bearing and showing the proper respect for my superiors. So, with that in mind, I simply must respect and attempt to comply with the wishes of the originator of this here Topic by saying the following...Sir, with all due respect to your rank... WAY TO GO YA BONEHEAD!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
