If you use my pic hosting service (fox302.com), you definitely need to read this post.

Later today I will be removing ALL accounts from my server. They will be backed up locally on my hard drive. Once the accoutns are removed, I will re-add my own account and the accounts of anyone who has donated money to the site. As soon as that is completed, I will add a link of the front page of the site at which you can request that your account be restored on the site.

If you do not go to the site and click that link and fill out the form, your account will not be added back to the website. I'm trying to clean out old and unused accounts, as I really don't have the space for all of them. People can't uplaod pics cause my disk quota is full.

I will accept a limited number of accounts to be restored on the site. All 528 current accounts will NOT make it back onto the site. Right now I'm thinknig of keeping 150 accounts, but I will take more depending on how much space is being used.

Registration has been disabled on the site, so if you do not ask to have your account restored before I make the cut off, you can not create a new one.

I need to do this to make space. In a few days I should be able to reenable registration, but I need to make some changes and improvements to the site before I do that, and it's entirely possible you may not be able to register new accounts for a while, because I do this in my spare time.

Aside from accounts of people who have donated, this is first come, first served, so if you want to keep your account get in soon!

I will bump this thread when I've removed all the accounts, which will be later today.

Thanks for the notice, I haven't used it recently, but I do appreciate the service you provide, despite not donating any money to you...can I keep myself a spot with this post since I'll be at the library for the rest of the day? :) hehe, it's cool, I'll find a computer somewhere.

I'll say I appreciate the service, and understand why you'd want people to pay for the bandwith.

That being said though, I was glad to have it while it was there, for the few pics I'd need to link to. Thanks for the service. I probably won't be awake again in time to make one of those 150.

I don't think he said he is going out of business, just cutting back. I can speak from experience that it's not easy hosting a free picture hosting site. There is no way to please everyone and it's impossible to offer 100% service without people outside the community taking advantage. Kudos to NF for the great service.

How long do you think it will take to re-activate the accounts? I filled out the form and now I can't get to the site.


Thanks for the great free service btw, it is greatly appreciated.

Yours has already been restored, and it does appear the site has gone down .:| That is beyond m control and you'll jsut have to wait until it comes back up, though.

Why'd you leave Dixiesys?

Site is still on dixiesys, for now. I bought an account at dathorn.com because it was cheaper.
