I'm not so against the concept of freehosts IF they would do a bit more to keep this mass overload of free content away from the surfer.

Newbies start in the business. They post 50 pic pages, don't make a dime, and leave the business. Their shit stays up and only hurts the rest of the business.

If the freehosts would make a simple rule -- i.e. log into your account at least once a month, or if they'd send out an email with a link that had to be clicked once a month to maintain the account as active, they could dump all the bs, turn it into 404 pages -- which are infinitely better than 50 pic galleries, and it would be better all around. If they were smart when they sent the active tracking email, they'd put some marketing into it and pick up a few bucks that way too...

Telling everyone when they signed up for an account that this will happen would mean no one was getting screwed by the freehost.

After all with paid hosting if a guy quits paying his bill, his pages don't keep loading. On freehosting if a guy isn't in the business, why does his ref code ever need to load again?
