More web hosting shenanigans...
10 years ago
So, after being promised by Bluehost's sales rep that my adult content would be fine on their servers, I was notified a couple days ago (after being on thier server for 6 months) that the content violated their terms of service. After trying to clear things up with them, and refusing to work anything out with me, I proceeded to remove all of my content and HTML except for the FLV files for my animations (so that they could still be viewed on FA).
On TOP of that, they proceeded to bill my credit card for another 6 months of service the following day. Kish contacted them and explained we were NOT renewing, and they said they reversed the charge. The FOLLOWING day, they charged me for 6 months AGAIN causing me to exceed my credit limit. Kish called again and again got them to reverse the charge as well as take the card off the account entirely. They also said our current contract doesn't expire until the 28th, so that gave us a buffer to get the site up on our new host without causing the animations to be unavailable on FA AGAIN...
Well, just now they informed me that they were terminating my service due to adult content anyways, so the animations will not be available here on FA until we can get the files on a new server. It should only be a couple days since we already purchased the service. We're just waiting for our new host to install the server for us.
TL/DR: The animations are down. Please direct your complaints to Bluehost.

How much GB are we even talking about?
Most traffic on my servers come from Minecraft, Teamspeak and proxy usage.
My guess is that most traffic flatrates actually have a fair use mechanism and the porn is just a pretense to get rid of someone using more traffic.
As adults they should be able to just tell you the reason.
If you need a mirror, let me know.
Not that anyone ever DOES do anything when a company fucks them over, tho. That's why it keeps happening so often. They don't fear or even value their customers- and why should they? They never do anything.
There's being dicks, and then there is going out of your way to be dicks of such colossal proportions that you'd think there was a contest for 'Biggest douchebag of 2015'.
Really, fuck those guys with a cactus dildo, glad to hear you found a new host for your stuff that isn't likely to be such gigantic assholes about the porn bit, and may the CEO of the previous hosting company be shit on by pigeons/seagulls for life.
Albert Einstein once said : "Only two things are infinite - Universe and human stupidity - and I'm not certain about the universe"
