    I Need A Host That's Not A DICK!

    Just yesterday I had a website... (yea who knew?)

    We have a forum (sorta like Stile Project) where members post images and videos of dead people, naked girls and links to all kinds of 'college humor' crap. One of my members uploaded a bunch of pics and one of them had a "Suicidal Girls" logo on it...

    Well, I'm down at Mardi Gras, (w00t!) taking pictures and just tonight, I go to plug in at the lobby. Was gonna upload some pics, but... Banned...

    Yea, I guess the owner or whoever of the pics contacted my host. He wrote me some 5 paragragh bullshit email yesterday, telling me about how he 'takes his hosting company seriously' and to remove it in 3 hours or else. I was about a day late.

    But I'm really offended. He talked down to me like, becuse I run a college humor site, that I'm not as professional as he. Because even though my content is all bullshit, I take my bullshit seriously.

        Why take a site down to update it?

          Let me also note:

          That some people get easily offended by my media and somehow, they're compelled to jump on AOL and send emails to hosts...

          I need a host that'll tell them to (gofuckyourself)

            Does anyone here besides me think that hosts are getting a bit too anal?

                    C'mon now, the guy gave me 3 hours... You know as well as I do, the DMCA laws gives you more time.

                              I have never even seen his T0S... I don't even know if his company (if applicable) has one. I met him on THESE BOARDS and on good faith of the GFY fellowship, we made a deal.

                                :\ that's unfortunate... you'd think from being on these boards that he would have a high tolerance for that type of humour....

                                      Yea, I don't get where these people 'get off' thinking that it's illegal to post dead people pics- and feel the need to spam you and your host.

                                      What I REALLY don't get is where your host takes it seriously, rather than clicking the 'Junk Mail' button.


                                      There has got to be SOME cool hosts out there...

                                        So does that about wrap it up for offers?
                                        No more questions, comments or gripes and moans about hosts?

                                        I will contact everyone one of you. I'm not just saying that. I think I might start a new website for a directory of cool hosts. Would that fly?

                                                                      We have a forum (sorta like Stile Project) where members post images and videos of dead people, naked girls and links to all kinds of 'college humor' crap. One of my members uploaded a bunch of pics and one of them had a "Suicidal Girls" logo on it...

                                                                      Well, I'm down at Mardi Gras, (w00t!) taking pictures and just tonight, I go to plug in at the lobby. Was gonna upload some pics, but... Banned...

                                                                      Yea, I guess the owner or whoever of the pics contacted my host. He wrote me some 5 paragragh bullshit email yesterday, telling me about how he 'takes his hosting company seriously' and to remove it in 3 hours or else. I was about a day late.


                                                                      But I'm really offended. He talked down to me like, becuse I run a college humor site, that I'm not as professional as he. Because even though my content is all bullshit, I take my bullshit seriously.

                                                                      Emily we 'd love to work with you contact me we'll save you time money and plenty of headaches =)

                                                                                And you can burn in hell.

                                                                                Am I the only one seeing the free world shattering?
