[QUOTE="MythosaAkira, post: 499212, member: 2428"] I think there are always people interested in something like this, but in my experience, these sites rarely last very long, or are plagued with a host of problems. That's not to say that your's won't be different, but personally, I've been burned too many times. The current host for my Web site (which is definitely RPG-related) is the fifth in as many years. Fortunately, this one is stable and accessible - but it is neither RPG-specific nor completely free (well, it could be free but with the space I need and the bandwidth people use, I have to pony up a few bucks each month; but the cost is minor, and worth it to avoid the frustration of the host being down, or FTP being unavailable, or the host adding pop-up ads, or the process that adds the Javascript for those ads cutting off parts of my pages, or the host redirecting visitors to my URL to an Audi dealership, or...you get the idea). I'd also wonder how long you'd be able to offer that much for free, even if you have pop-up ads or banner ads. But if you can do it, more power to you. Anyway, I figured I'd offer my opinion on the subject. I can't speak for anyone else, but I know the frustration of dealing with other hosts like this, and the lack thereof with my current host will keep me where I'm at for the time being. [/QUOTE]
