    Anybody noticed that Femme Fatale (Tiger shrine) is gone? :( Many SMJ sites are disappearing, but the good side is that there are also new ones as well!

    Yeah, actually it's the &#^@)&*@#( policies for web hosting companies. They don't give you what they used to... they got greedy and you have to pay for everything. In other words, they SV<K :mad:

    Actually, web-advertising has taken a serious hit on the market, and banners at what "free-hosting" rely on to make their money... They don't make as much anymore, so they don't give out as much anymore...

    It's sad, but "free" and "internet" will pretty soon not be able to live in the same sentence again... :(

    Sad to see an excellent saber site go...

    Sad to see it go. I guess I didn't save enough of the pics..

    I hate ads and wish they would die. This will mean the demise of a lot of sites I guess, but those that remain will be run by dedicated types.

    At least I will hope some are left.. if not, my crusade to eliminate ads will turn out to be a mistake.. (ask me about your HOSTS file sometime)

    I hope that a shrine as good as the old one will pop up soon :( It seems that the internet is turning totally capitalist, but hopefully this will make things better (because of the millions of dollars in revenue). If things don't get better then I shall be ticked!

    But I'm okay with some ads, such as the animenation one here on Mangatoanime. But just pop ups extremely annoy me ><

    GeoCities' ads-at-the-top-right-corner-of-the-page-that-don't-annoy-you-too-much-since-you-can-click-them-away aren't so bad. ^_^; And ads that don't pop up are okay, as long as they don't make your system slow...

    Why are we talking about ads when Femme Fatale was gone because it was the webmaster's choice? Didn't you read what he said? http://genrou.com/tiger

    Yeah.. the conversation shifted.. oops. Well, even if ads weren't the cause, there's one less less-dedicated person with a websote.. Even if it was a good one. Wonder if he still has a copy somewhere someone could put up... I guess I could raid the Wayback Machine and grab it from there :)

    EDIT: I found it! go here: http://web.archive.org/web/20010820044732/genrou.com/tiger/ to see the page as it was in its entirety.

    Scrolls back to top...reads luvweaver's response...blames him. :p

    But I believe the free-hosting discussion came in to our disappearing SMJ sites in general...Heart of a Marionette has been down ever since kazeninaru.net had rpoblems with it's host...It's becoming increasingly hard to find any dependable free hosting anymore...

    Speaking of dependable hosting... I'm currently having problems with mine. A shame about the Tiger shrine. I really liked femme fatale.

    Unlike some Hanagata shrine that I could mention. *sighs*

    I really have no idea anymore. I have web hosting, but now I'm having htmling problems. web design really is just not my expertise, I'm afraid.

    Lol!!!!!!

    Well anyway... speaking of sites, do you happen to know any site that allows PHP? I'm making this HUGE web project and it needs PHP...

    On other news... I'm back! ^_^ lol... well i had been ultradepressed for the last few months, but I'm ok now... I'm still working on my fics, "corruption" is reaching its last chapters!
    Oh - if anyone wants his anime site redesigned/revamped, i'd be glad to help! I'm searching for a webdesigner job, and the more i can put in my resume, the better! ^_^v

    Cya soon all!

    it seems devoidofthought.com, with its accompanying subpage the c0cktail loungs has up and vanished. I guess it's safe to officially say there will never be an update to The Sabers (not like we didn't suspect it already)

    *sighs*
