I just got an email from yahoo about my group......

[johnnyspliff]

Looks like my group is on it's way out......
This is the email I got from Yahoo:

"Dear Yahoo! account holder:

Any ideas on what to do?

[meanguy]

i wonder what u did ;l
isn't there any better web hosting? other than yahoo?
how come almost everyone here uses yahoo group

[aaa_121uk]

well its better then msn

[johnnyspliff]

It might be getting closed down because of all the warez on it. If it's shut down, then I'm gonna make a website.
Can anyone recommend a good, free web hosting service?

i've been wondering why use all use that crappy yahoo anyway :P

but check here http://www.thefreesite.com/Free_Web_Space/
maybe you'll find something better. Or does your isp give you webspace? They usually do, i think..

[jerm]

most free hosting services also have download limits... what you *could* do, if you're on broadband, is have your own site up @ home.. using dynamic dns servers to point toy uor home addie eg you.dyndns.org

there's many tutorials out there to get an apache server and ftp server up...

hmmm if you get toasted by yahoo do what yuppo did, and just restart the website under a different name, thats if you have a bit of time to upload evrything again also adsl. Not only will the forum users be proud of you for hostin another great site, but it'll piss off yahoo and force them to send another email a few weeks/months down the track :lol:

char on johnny! ;)

[v_patel1]

www.YOURCHOICE.tk
i aight i think but im not too sure :-P

[Quake3000]

bah another yahoo group that maybe will be deleted! anyone should not use yahoo it suck big time on my homesite www.quake3000.tk i had my files there over a year and first then they deleted the mobile app so go for web hosting not yahoo it suck anyway!

[v_patel1]

Is .TK alright thn?

[johnnyspliff]

Well, I registered for free web space and the domain name. When my group is eventually closed, I will upload the files to my website:

www.spliffology.tk

100Mb bandwith, unlimited bandwith and no file size limit.

[tzeonn]

cool johnny, keep us updated.

[meanguy]

yeah, truely nice :) though www.quake3000.tk never worked for me , keeps telling me "Exceeded bandwidth limit" ;l
hmm.. another good way, "so u guys wouldn't have the limit problem"
to get an email at gawab.com or email.si , they have 10 MB space.
i'd usually send myself attached emails. and then give my cousin the password. he'd open the email and download whatever he wants.
email.si can send attachment up to 4 mbs. if not more, and also can recieve alot

its just a suggestion.
cuz i've been trying to access 90% of the yahoo groups. as well as quake3000.tk and i can't download any files, temporary unavailable ;l

[Imaginati0n]

At least they called you Dear :lol:


"Dear Yahoo! account holder:

Just open another with another name don't worry with that...the maximum they do is closing ur mail acount ...but then opens another one ...but if u want to keep that ..make a new just for groups

[johnnyspliff]

Yes, but I'll have to upload all the files again, which (If I'm going to do) I might as well upload to a website. I registered for web space with 1ASPHost. That's another reason why I want to create a website. The site I registered with give you 100mb webspace and unlimited bandwith, not to mention no file size limit. Unlimited bandwith.......no more "404 forbidden" messages.
