The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Best free online storage?

I was wondering if any of you know of some good free online storage I could use. I only need about 100 mb worth, so I'm sure I could find that much for free. I've been using ripway for a while but I hated the fact that they delete your account after not logging in for a month. I was trying ADrive too, but they had a really weird, complicated, and annoying way of backing up files, and it took forever for some reason. I just really hated it. I want something that makes it very easy to upload and download your files. Do any of you guys know of good ones that you use?

Just an FYI, I want one that keeps your files permanently, not something like driveway.

Feel free to use my server if you want.  It's not complicated at all, and I could easily accommodate 100mb.  Just sign up using the signup form.  I don't allow remote registrations for fear of abuse, but just fill out the form and I'll give you an account.

I really didn't think of that, but that would be awesome and most appreciated. Thanks, you're a life saver :D

I filled out the form, but when I hit submit I got a "Could not display this page" error. I hope it still went through.

Yeah I got it.  I just sent a reply.  I really gotta fix that server redirect error.  I'll get around to it eventually...

To be frank, I don't trust these things that say "backup your harddrive for XX dollars a year" safe and secure away from your machine at home.  Uhhh...why exactly should I trust another company with data I cherish?  I feel a little safer with it by me.  I already keep multiple hard drives and in different locations.  Save for unrealistic circumstances or a nuclear war, I think my system beats any of this online data backup stuff.

I use adrive.com as a backup for my stuff :) Too bad it doesn't work for you, works perfectly for me.
