| | | If this doesn't belong in .general, feel free to just direct it to .publish. As some of you may know, Brinkster.com, which is where I and many other LEGO builders host our websites, has recently announced that it will be adding advertisments to its (...)

| | | | | (...) This is pretty similar to the idea of MOCPages, except that MOCPages is free? In general, it's a good idea, and I like it :) Some technical problems I can see, but probably nothing that can't be figured out.

| | | | | | (...) Yes. The difference is that MOCPages (which is a great service!) does not allow you to create your own website. You can upload photos and write descriptions but that's as far as it goes. I'm envisioning three stages to this now: Stage 1: (...) (21 years ago, 31-Oct-03, to lugnet.publish)

| | | | | | I'm unconvinced as to why you'd need this. Plenty of people provide free hosting, for example I bet your ISP does. Now the space available on these sites is limited but then the majority of the large stuff on your site would actually be on (...) (21 years ago, 31-Oct-03, to lugnet.publish)

| | | | | | (...) Lol. Two points: Space isn't the biggest issue. I have a few other web spaces I could split content about if I needed to. The main problem is the ads. I _hate_ ads. The only thing that drives me nuts faster than neon text on a black (...) (21 years ago, 31-Oct-03, to lugnet.publish)

| | | | | (...) Why equally split? Suppose I have a high traffic site that hosts movies and therefore consumes lots of bandwidth. Why should I get to pay the same as some guy who hosts a few highly compressed gifs and doesn't get a lot of traffic. Very unfair (...)

If the payment was done on a resource-consumption basis, the guy like you that chokes out a gigabyte or two of bandwidth each month would be paying much, much more than the small price you (...)

| | | | | | (...) That's my exact point. It is not fair for me to get something for nothing. Not fair to everyone else who is now paying MORE than they ought to have to. Either you get this concept, or you don't. In this scheme, you are setting yourself up for (...) (21 years ago, 31-Oct-03, to lugnet.publish)

| | | | | | (...) Well, then, in that case...can we agree to disagree? :) If you want to carry on privately that's fine but I don't really want to start a debate. You see the system as unfair, I ask "who wouldn't pass up hosting that starts at $4 and only gets (...) (21 years ago, 31-Oct-03, to lugnet.publish)

You may not care about that and that's your perogative but I prefer to give my business to outfits that I think have enough of a grasp of economics that (...)

| | | | The problem with this model is that the "organization" has a certain limited amount of space, let's say 100 GB for example. Now, let's say two people join. Do you give them each 50 GB? Then no one else can sign on. Or do you give them 10 GB to use, (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish, lugnet.animation)
