Hey everyone! I'm a spammer...um I just wanted to get myself banned.

Btw, I currently have a website up. It's brand new and it is a free image host that offers unlimited space. Check it out here.

it would appear that way if the girl in those pictures (decent looking site at least) is the poster. I just do not understand how she can say 'unlimited'. Would that still be the case if a picture you host there is slashdotted or farked?

Started talking to yourself I see.
Yes, it was the only way I could be sure of an intelligent conversation

I'd like to put that to the test. I'll image my hard drive and rename it to .jpg see how many people can download it. greengrin.gif

I hate how hosts will say unlimited or say something crazy like 999999GB but really they oversell all their resources like mad.

Those hosting packages for $2.99 that offer like 9999GB of space and 999999TB transfer are pure BS. You cannot have a server that can hold enough customers to make up the cost, its impossible. Just 1TB alone is very expensive when on a dedicated server.

I’d imagine there’s some sort of abuse clause to take care of people who use too much of their “unlimited” resources. More likely, though, the server would give out before such a clause could be invoked.

DreamHost defends overselling on its blog. I don’t know how I feel about the practice.

While that post is funny I disagree with it. Overselling is all on the assumption that nobody uses all their resources, thats like overbooking the dentist office assuming most people will forget or not bother to show up. It's not right.
