ADMIN  Forum Posts: 3077 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | Making use of the news forum... Decided to go with Freehostia; its benefits outweigh the cons. Cons: 1) Forbidden word list (back to rooting out the words with possible pornographic connotations, though nice person at Support said they'd tell me which words were responsible when a page got banned.) 2) Max file size of 500KB. Currently there are 5 scripts that go past this; I'll have to host them elsewhere and put in a redirect link. Bit of trouble but oh well. Site will probably be down over the next day or two, whereupon it will come back in bits. I don't really know what's going on this time because I can still access my DirectAdmin account, which I have a strange feeling is operating independent of my webhost. No idea if I'll have to reupload stuff; hope I won't have to and it'll just be the porn thing to worry about. In the meantime if the site still works, new articles up at www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/recentadd.htm, mostly the CK stuff. | ||

ADMIN Forum Posts: 3077 Comments: 405 Reviews: 1 | Okay, I think the shift is complete. Turns out that this forbidden words list is more lenient - they don't block more common words like 'porn'. So far the only blocked word I found is 'pedophile' and its variants. Might be others lurking about... Unfortunately I don't know of a simple way to find out which pages were blocked. Just sent an e-mail to the webhost support people to ask. Until then, if you come across a page on the site that's blank except for a single number, it means it's blocked - just give me the number and I'll fix it.  (don't bother going through every page. It will kill my bandwidth.) | ||
