Well, UFA/TCO Ship yards is no more
 
Looks like Anglefire deleted my account for some unknown reason. They state that it violated some policy, yet I can not find out what policy it violated. In an email to me, it was stated that someone complained that I was offering their "property" for download without their permission. UM, that is news to me. Well, if that person was from here, thanks for ruining my site for no reason.

That sucks!

I didn't get the newest shipset updates yet.
Why would anyone want to be such an ***.

I don't know why. It really ticks me off after all that work, and its all gone. Man I am so angry at Anglefire for this crap that I am now RECOMMENDING THAT NO ONE EVER USE THEM. This is complete crap. All those records are gone, everything is history. Thank god I have back ups of the Race files, but I mean this is utter BS. I had nearly 3500 visits since going on line in early Dec. It was a very popular site, and now its gone. Go figure!

I'm sorry to hear that your site was deleted - stupid angelfire.

But this may be a blessing in disguise. You can revamp your site and move it to tripod (I still haven't had any problems).

I hope to see you shipyards up and running again!

Thanks. I am checking them out as I type this. Man I am so up set at them. Once I get another reply from them, I'll post what they say here so you all can have a good laugh. Just goes to show you, you can't help those who don't want help. 3000+ hits in 5 months. Someone really screwed the pooch on this deal.

its a sad state of afairs when they will do something like that without investigating or giving you the opportunity to resolve the problem.

Bah ! Forget about those free services .. I have heard about dozends accounts terminated for .. ah, well, without real reason.

Sometimes some A*** claims you have stolen his property, and they shut down your site without further notice, sometimes they shut it down because it generates more traffic than a 'free site' should ... sometimes their hardware crashes and they 'accidently' can't backup some site hosted for free.

I would recommend that you spend some $2..5 a month and get yourself a 'real site' with own domain etc.

It helps, really - they won't kill such a site without good reason because they would have some lawyers going after them if they do http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

PS: Last case I heard of was a 'Steel Panthers World@War' fansite on Trypod, so maybe you should want to stay away from them, too.

Atrocities, I am really sorry to hear that. I like your races very much and hope you will continue to post them at least here in the mod section.
