This is a good damm thread... Many great points.
From the free Host stance, I believe Snake and a few others hit the problem. It's not us but rather the
"3rd world" webmasters are the cheatinist(is that a word?) sons of bitches around.
(If its not a word, well Ill accept it, its the best word I've seen for them).
We provide a great free service to thousands of Webmasters, but those few Cheaters are scum and are ruining a good thing for everyone.
I can tell you this, We just hired extra staff just last week to help police for cheaters. Their jobs are mainly to go into each and every account hosted on us and spot check for all kinds of cheating. ie Child Porn, Beast Crap, Scripts to hide my ads etc... The problem with this is that when I delete a real cheaters site, and it happens to be listed on several tgp's or other sites, then a 404 error comes up and the site that got this now thinks I'm a cheater. I have tried working with a few big tgp's in keeping eachother informed of when we delete accounts.. Its not easy for them or us.. But if people like Snake would work with me, we could make some progress..
OK enough for now..
