I'm sorry to hear that your site was deleted - stupid angelfire.

But this may be a blessing in disguise. You can revamp your site and move it to tripod (I still haven't had any problems).

I hope to see you shipyards up and running again!

Thanks. I am checking them out as I type this. Man I am so up set at them. Once I get another reply from them, I'll post what they say here so you all can have a good laugh. Just goes to show you, you can't help those who don't want help. 3000+ hits in 5 months. Someone really screwed the pooch on this deal.

its a sad state of afairs when they will do something like that without investigating or giving you the opportunity to resolve the problem.

Bah ! Forget about those free services .. I have heard about dozends accounts terminated for .. ah, well, without real reason.

Sometimes some A*** claims you have stolen his property, and they shut down your site without further notice, sometimes they shut it down because it generates more traffic than a 'free site' should ... sometimes their hardware crashes and they 'accidently' can't backup some site hosted for free.

I would recommend that you spend some $2..5 a month and get yourself a 'real site' with own domain etc.

It helps, really - they won't kill such a site without good reason because they would have some lawyers going after them if they do

A.

PS: Last case I heard of was a 'Steel Panthers World@War' fansite on Trypod, so maybe you should want to stay away from them, too.

Atrocities, I am really sorry to hear that. I like your races very much and hope you will continue to post them at least here in the mod section.

That really #@!$*#$ sucks! I really enjoyed your site - I found your content very useful for finding what I was looking for because of its scope of content. Removing it is a loss to all of use. They at least could of informed you of the compliant and given you an oppertunity to correct it, then the community wouldn't have lost all of you contribution to it.

I am truly sorry to hear this, I liked your site a lot. Perhaps send an e-mail to Richard, I know he mentioned awhile back that he was interesting in hosting a fan site but need someone to run it (or something like that - I am still a little fuzzy b/c I have not had my morning mountain dew yet).
