ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area RE: FREE Websites at ECN being Discontinued

Greg,

If you're familiar with the sites AOL was offering (Homestead I think it was??), it's similar to that idea where it's open to anyone, anywhere... therein lies the problem...

Looking quickly, it looks like there's 2-3 new ones per day average.

Bill,

Thanks for the notification.

Feel free to chuck the Free Websites into the large Black Hole of Cyberspace!

Scott

It looks like there must be a BB somewhere that alerts people to free web space. I agree with Scott, chuck them.
I bet, even a small charge, would make 99% of the problem go away but there is really no good reason to do it. Web space is pretty cheap just about anywhere.

It could very well be automated, like the spam-bots that create new accounts with random profile information and spam forums.

Update:

I've disabled the Freebie account signups. This doesn't seem to affect any of the existing sites. I'll look into options next week.

Bill
