Its Offical

It's not in my Cache.

I'm sorry about your site but saying you'll be posting less and less is maybe a bit far fetched. You obviously mean a lot to the community and your shipsets are one of the main reasons i purchased SEIV (original Version).
I can understand the frustration about not wanting to start a new site if you're not sure people aren't going to try to shut it down again. Unfortunately, the internet attracts people who haven't anything better to do than pester other people.
I just would let it all cool down for a while, take a deep breath and then decided on what to do. Quick decisions are usually not the best decisions.
Just my 2 cents.

I'm sorry to hear that Atrocities.

Maybe they did have "over 20 emails" requesting that you shut down, but I bet between us we could send them over a hundred unique emails asking for your site to be re-allowed.

Atrocities, if you post the address of the rep you've been talking to, we'll start a letter writing campaign right now.

ATROCITIES: My ISP gives me 20MB of webspace / FTPspace, I don't know at what bandwidth limitations (if any) per month.

I currently have ZERO use for that space ... if you need room to store files on, pages or indices or whatever (including shipset files) let me know, I'll get down to figuring out how to upload the files there.

20MB may not be much, but it's a little bit, at the LEAST as an interim measure.

As for ISP service, consider www.ispwest.com (they're who I go through); while they are a smaller outfit, and there have been a few problems connecting, they're usually quite good about fixing the problem ASAP. Around $14US/month for up to two email addresses, unlimited use (30 minute idle-kick, though) dialup supportign up to 56.6K, and (despite the name and HQ location) nationwide numbers -- I'm in the US Northeast.

*grin* And no, I don't work for them, plug above notwithstanding. *grin*

Thanks. I have other things going on, and my time may get a bit thin. I wanted to let those who care know so that I don't get a million emails.

There are many members of this forum who are far more valuable posters than I. Besides, I am ditching my ISP, AT&T at the end of September. I am getting too sick of dealing with their BS.

My account has been paid in advance for two months since I started service. After winning a complaint against them, I was given six additional months of free service. What they did, was charge my checking account for six months of service, then shut me off.

This happened late Thursday. I just got the right person on the phone just today after wasting all day Friday trying to get the right person. She was able to get this mess squard away. It took them all day to get me up again. I had to use the neighbors PC, and its Dial up. Most of my time on line was spent trying to get AF to put my site back up. (Friday & Monday)

Needless to say, this has been a very bad week for me. My PC had a fatal system error late Thrusday, and I had to burn up my Last free MS support service call to get it up and running again. That took all night. (Thanks Fyron. Those new Nividia drivers currupted my system files. )

I get back on line just to find out I am not on line. Call AT&T and get the low down on their screw up. The lady I talked to at first was very rude to me saying that I owed AT&T for six months worth of service, even after they billed my checking account for six months. She treated me like I was trash. I had to fax her a copy of the email from the state Attorney Generals office about the resolution to my complain about AT&T. After that, the ball started rolling. It took them until just about an hour ago to get me back on line. I will get my money back tomorrow along with the credit. I still am paid up thru the end of September. After that, I am going to a $10.00 Kmart dial up service. I have no need now that I don't play Tribes any more for high speed cable. Simply a waste of money at $55.00 bucks a month.

Top this off with finding out that AF killed my site on Friday morning, and my week was complete.

I will still keep this site as my home page and post, but the way I see it, I won't be on line all the time. That is a good thing I guess.

Perhaps your right, this has been a bad week, and some time cooling down might brighten my mood. I will let you know.

I will post the next email I get from AF. This should be interesting.

I recall somewhere there was a site that archived sites across the whole internet.

EDIT: Atrocities, check your PM
