Hosted With.US - Free web hosting paid for by obnoxious ads

Hosted With.Us

Hosted With.Us is a free web hosting that vies you 100GB of storage and 100GB of monthly bandwidth absolutely free. If that sounds too good to be true, here's the catch: You have to include a Hosted With.Us footer on any web page you create. That wouldn't be so bad, but the footer includes an absolutely obnoxious advertisement. You know, those ads that ask if you'd like to meet lonely girls living in your neighborhood? Yeah, that's what popped up when we built our test site. And while it's possible the ads rotate, we kept getting that same annoying ad over and over.

If you can live with the ads, Hosted.With.Us does deliver on its promise. While most free web hosts like Blogger, LiveJournal, or WordPress give you a limited set of tools for creating and managing a web page, Hosted With.Us gives you all the tools you'd need to build a professional looking web site. You can associate your account with any Domain name or use the username.hostedwith.us name that comes with your account. And users can upload and modify files via FTP or a web interface. You can install a WordPress blog, a forum, or pretty much anything else you'd like.

The service does let you do away with the footer altogether for $2.95 per month, or $1.95 per month if you pay for 6 months in advance.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
