Quite impressive. Texas Net offers 50 meg.
Congratulations.
For free? Heck, that's a lot.
http://www.texas.net/serv/personal.html#lonestar
This is the same account that I have had for almost 2 years.
Thanks Texas Net!
Ahhh, but that is not AOLs 'standard' issue. :)
Antmatic is kissing some serious gluteus maximus to *obtain* 12 meg of
webspace!
Why bother going thru the hoops and hurdles when other ISPs offer more
webspace with no Ads? :)
....Snip.....

Huh?
Texas Net is a regional ISP serving Cental Texas.
Plain-Jane ISP. Short and simple.
No pop-ups whatsoever. How can you have pop-ups with a PPP connection? :)
Direct dial-in with *excellent* tech-support.
Pure and simple as that.
BTW.....PI only offers 2 Meg?
Tisk....tisk ;>)
Ahhh.....I can understand the lack of caffeine. I forgive you :)

AOL...where people don't laugh with you, but at you!
Still, AOL offering 12 megabytes is much more than the standard for other free
web servers, like Angelfire, Geocities, and Tripod. And Bogus- I can now remove
my site from Hometown AOL and keep my 12 megs.
12 is more than 10 and 11, Nightheart. Learn your math.
TexasNet is only a regional ISP- thier services are not available to everyone,
so therefore, TexasNet does not really count. If Texas Net was like Geocities,
then that would be OK. But from the ATL, AOL offers me 12 megs, and that is
more than anyone else for free.
I brought up web based in my original post, if you do not remember.
I was talking about the freebie sites. And I can remove my web site from
Hometown AOL now, and still keep the extra 10 megs. Read a post before you
respond to it.
I have been comparing AOL to ISPs for the past 6 months.
You guys reply, so you obviously must care. And as far as the crack at the end,
atleast AOL has the most content of any ISP.
5 megs or 11.999999999, it is still less regardless.

I never go into those Town Square lobbys... I used the topic-specific chats and
the conferencerooms.
I think it really "does" count.
Why jump thru all the hurdles and waste time finding "Free" sites, when you
can have a very *large* one in the first place.
I don't have to do ANYTHING. I have 50 megs available right now.
Do you?
Lets face it......you kissed AOLs behind by joining AOL Hometown. THEN you
came in here and plugged that site.
That is not debate. That is sucking-up. That is publicity for both AOL and
your *page* and you *know it*.
Once again........do you have 50 meg?
Yes or no? (don't wait for the translator)

I can't understand why someone would make a total ass of themselves and keep
coming back for more :)
Either way, he has always compared AOL to an ISP. Then he said he joined
Hometown and his total webspace was modified soonafter. Then he says my ISP
does not count because he was talking about "free" sites.
Go figure.
BTW if anyone is wondering about the "GigaNews" in my headers.....it is a
branch of Texas Net devoted entirely for newsgroups (not an ad).

It seems there are quite a few aolusers that will do this. I don't know
if it makes them feel closer to (UGH) aol, or if they think they are
going to get some kind of brownie points from aol or what.

Most of them THINK aol is an ISP, or they buy into the aol is the
Internet crap. It's no wonder he can't remember what the hell he was
talking about, let alone switching thoughts in mid stream as it were.

I could have if I wanted to. AOL has 5 screen names- this offer could be
applied individually for each of them. Technically, I could have created 5 web
pages and put them into Hometown AOL, 1 for each different sites and got 60
megs. Through this offer, AOL could allow one to get 60 megs per account. 60 is
more than 50.
>That is not debate. That is sucking-up. That is publicity for both AOL and

Why the heck would I publicize a WWF, Videogame, and Sports site in this
newsgroup?
Oh yeah, BogusA...@device.nul- don't test me. I can come up with an answer
for anything with everything and still come out on top.
I am here mostly to annoy AOL haters like you who have nothing better to do
than to bash a company that is the biggest juggernaut in the Internet,
Nightheart. You will never change my opinion, I will never change yours. I know
AOL is the best, you guys are just too stubborn to listen to me and to see why.
And I do not suck up, I am just posting stuff you guy's don't want to hear.
But the question is *why*.
Are you still expending your own time in doing so? I just find that
*inconvenient*.
Regardless of size.......you are still jumping thru all the hoops, hurdles and
agreements. In reality none are normally required. Why?
"To each his own".......I guess.

Why not? You are only providing *positive* things about AOL.
Correct?

If you call contradictions and Spin Doctoring *on top*......then you belong in
the White House.
Here are two facts:
1. "I" don't have a short attention-span.
2. Our friend Mr. DejaNews has no problems with memory either.
It seems like you are doing an excellent job on making a TOTAL fool of
yourself.
Please continue :)
I don't need 60 megs for a site like mine- heck, I probably don't even need 12
megs.
>It seems like you are doing an excellent job on making a TOTAL fool of
>yourself.
However- hmmm... the fact is that I think I won this argment becasue with AOL,
you have the opportunity to gain 60 megs of web space if you want to- with
TexasNet, you get 50.
Here ye! Here ye!
Let this be for the record:
Antmatic admits that he is *biased*.
The databases of DejaNews are recording this monumental day in history!
And I always thought it was about *debate*. :)

Reality check.
You didn't win anything but humiliation.
If you were *on top* so to speak.......then why the desparate attempt to
explain your *webspace* article? And even in that........you tried bring the
*numbers* issue to fore.
Oh, the humanity!
Does this make Antmatic an AOL-hater-hater? :)

Darn.
I didn't catch that one. Another contradiction added to my long list of
Antmatic's mistakes!

I don't hate AOL haters, why the heck would I? You guys have done nothing to
me.
Ok- then why don't you guys say "IMO AOL sucks"? If you do that, then frankly I
can't argue with you.
So why do you call people who dislike AOL "Haters"?
The term "AOL Hater" as I understand it- a person who does not like AOL to the
point that they bash AOL in newsgroups (like alt.aol or alt.aol-sucks), or they
maintain an Anti-AOL web site.
I was just curious.
As we all know, Microsoft's trial just started today. And as we all
know....Microsoft gained its share of opponents thru the years.
AFAIK.......I have never heard the term "Microsoft *Hater*" applied to those
who dislike, "Bash" or even "Hate" Microsoft.
Just a little tidbit of totally useless info :)
By the way, I am against any anti-trust action against Microsoft, simply
because there is no feasable solution to Microsoft's Windows dominance.
Packaging Netscape makes no sense.
Now I know you're trolling :)
This is an AOL newsgroup, a newsgroup to ask for help among AOL members. You
guys are the trolls.
That was a lie, Nightheart, and you know it- I never send you any IMs. The only
time I IM you is when you IM me first.
>>Now I know you're trolling :)

Could you be so kind as to point me to the charter/faq for this group?

Geocities offers 11, not 5. I don't know about Angelfire.

Hmmm so maybe you can all convince them to offer more bandwith and REAL e-mail.

<snip>
Where have you been?www.tripod.com offers 11megs plus forums,chat rooms Nedstat
counters so you can see where your hits come from plus you can earn cash from your
site and not have to give them any of it all for free now for a bit of money you
get around 20megs and all the stuff and more plus with either plan you never have
to put up the hosts ads like you have to do with AOL and Geocities of course i
remember one of my sites on Angelfire had a javascript ad that booted AOL
members.Hmmmmm.
