Angelfire OWN'Ds You

[Baloki]

I know this will get moved, deleted or killed but I just thought I'd better mention as no-one else has noticed yet.

Angelfire seem to have stopped remote hosting and have changed all people who host their sigs on Angelfire to little piccies saying Hosted on Angelfire. I thought you all might want to know. I hope that helps and you all find a way round it.

Meh, they've always been against direct linking.

I tried Angelfire before, but they deleted my account for some stupid reason.

[Linus]

It's been like that for 3 years. They only briefly re-allowed remote linking to attract some more users. I use my Angelfire accounts as an online backup hard drive.

[eternalshiva]

*nods* I noticed that... but it seems to come back once in a while... How odd.

[Mikztsu]

Yeah, like Linus said, that happened a long time ago. http://foolsgold.kicks-ass.net/forum/images/smilies/banana.gif

[Baloki]

It seems to have fixed again...

And I don't use Angelfire, I just saw other peoples sigs with the problem.

[Agent Proto]

Do they do that .txt trick?

Did Angelfire caught that?

[DMKA]

Well its been working for me for the last three years...until today.

EDIT: Photobucket.com (http://photobucket.com) rules.

Are you serious? This sucks :(

[Rainecloud]

I knew they'd find a way round the .txt linking (if that is what's happened).

I've been using my personal webspace at TheFarplane.co.uk to store my signatures and goodies. I'm yet to use the address to host an excellent website of sorts, though. I had a retro gaming site up for a month or two, but I got bored of that and took it down. I'm thinking of opening a personal site in the near future, like Xander.

Yay for getting a free hotmail account before it went paid. :aimsun:

[Yamaneko]

Yay for paid server space. :cool:

[The Man]

Yay for paid server space. :cool:
Free hosts who don't allow hotlinking are wankers though.

[Kirobaito]

PhotoBucket is now heaven.

[Peegee]

Host it yourselves! Oh wait not all of you have cable...

Host it yourselves!

If we keep hammering Photobucket with our bandwidth, won't they shut down like every other free hosting site I've seen in the past few years? Look what happened to the others: Geocities became even more crap, Homestead started charging customers, Angelfire had a tantrum and stopped remote linking (a long time ago) and all the others disappeared.

[Kirobaito]

PhotoBucket is not working anymore. I got a beautiful red X.

[DMKA]

Crap...photobucket sucks now. :(

[Kirobaito]

Okay, people who like searching, get us another server QUICK!

[DMKA]

Ok now photobucket is cool again.

[Casey]

Bah what? That's old news!


p.s. angel fire doesnt own me

[Peegee]

HOST IT YOURSELF

[omnitarian]

I've never had any problems with geocities and the .txt trick.

*points at sig*

[Awrini]

.txt trick pwns angelfire *hugs sig*

[Rase]

Walagata (http://www.walagata.com) is a good hosting site, if anyone needs one. *shrugs*

[Moomba Misstress]

Mine just got too much brandwith from something else Im hosting on it somewhere else that got viewed alot. Or at least, that what I tought it was. Other wise, that sucks. =( :moomba:

[Xander]

Angelfire suck, they took my space just cos I didn't build a website =| Yay for Jayren giving me his Homestead space to use for hosting sigs. <3
