Hi All. I'm apart of Beta Brigade also but I'm using my own paid hosting to submit once I knew it was considered Free hosting. I remember the days of free hosting and I even had some listed on your site, greenguy, before 2000. I even remember the days of condom. Those were the days I made good money. I've advanced from my free hosting days. Now I'm paying for my own hosting. Learning a lot from BB and from here of course. I understand your point about it being kind of like a sponsored free host. I just wish there was a way to help some of these newbies the way it was for the first Beta brigade. I was fortunate to be in on the first one and was able to transfer my domain to my paid hosting when the first one stopped. Linkster made a good point that when the first Beta brigade was over lot of the sites were redirected or disappeared. I guess I'm one of those crusty oldies that Pagan talked about. I'm glad this issue was at least discussed so we all know the reasons behind it. Thanks Greenguy.
