• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

i cannot even upload my site to edit without getting knocked offline...befor that it would not let me upload any pictures, or save the page

anyone one know what the problem is, or have any ideas?
 
I know! I know!


The problem is GeoCities! :)
No, really it is. I dont know exaclty what the problem your having is, but they have not had the best working software.

They have went downhill since they merged with yahoo. If your site gets 25 visitors in one day and you have atleast 1 meg in files that they can view. your site will be offline for the rest of the day, becuase you went past the transfer limit. :hot:

Here are other free website providers that are not drastically limiting in what they give you for free. You will need a webpage editor seperate from geocities to make your pages with. See the post about frontpage, i linked to one editor similar to the built in editor on their page.

www.atspace.com (free pop3 email to the website adress you choose, example: [email protected]. they also allow you to have mulitple sites as well) I forget what the space allowed here is, but they allow you to upload via ftp.

www.web1000.com they have various sub domains you can choose from. 50 megs free space and ftp upload. They also allow you to link your photos from other places like forums, which alot of free sites will no longer do.

i have had one of my web1000 acounts get 1,000+ hits a day, with atleast 500 meg-1 gig uploaded daily. I never got my site disconnected or anything else.
