utdatabase.99k.org got suspended

Post by EvilGrins »

I usually consider this forum here to be the center, a hub of sorts, for all Unreal/UT activity... but I saw this one thing in 2 other forums and after poking around I didn't see it here.

Summary:
My understanding is the site utdatabase.99k.org was hosted on was intended to be used as a storage place for pieces of websites, according to the complaint there, and they weren't happy to find that the utdatabase wasn't storing pieces for a website but actually hosting a site in their storage archives.

Doesn't make sense to me, but then it's not my site.

Well ...I think Pietro did forget to post about it, here in our "hub".
Yeah it's bad news, but provider can do what they want. Usually they reserve the right to change the General Terms and Conditions at any time. :?

Well, not so bad, luckily it's not the end of the world :lol2:
As I wrote in the post reported by EvilGrins (thanks !), the website will be back online later, elsewhere...nothing is dead or definitively lost.

People think they can use our service as backup storage, file storage, photo dumps, warez and copyrighted material, etc. Use our service for hosting a website only"

To be honest, I've to say almost every free web hosting service found on the net follows this rule: do not use your website as backup/file storage !
I hope this is the real reason, otherwise I don't see any other valid reasons to suspend the site. Anyway, I'm not interested at all in further discussions with the hosting service, utdatabase website will be simply moved elsewhere :highfive:

Pietro

I think the service was web hosting, maybe they only give you a limited file storage? We use google.docs. It's all about file storage. Good news is it will return! :rock:

I remember a long time ago, some website place , or a lot of them, won't accept like .zip extensions, really T'd me off so I abandoned them.
They only take pictures and html files and some others but only for webpage making. It's like having an FTP to use was pay pay pay or else !!!
