gambit of, files lasting longer before being deleted, less investigations by
authorities if any at all, and ease of use, with another viable reason being
having been in business longer than any other file host.
The simple fact of the matter is, that these file host companies are businesses.
The service they supply costs them money to supply that service. With no
influx of money, they.......or any other file host......would no longer be in
business, and this forum, other than picture forums would be shut down.
I myself began with the file host Rapidshare, and was called a "cash ho",
"bread poster", amongst the nicer of the name calling. When Rapidshare
was taken to court, and their services began to suffer, I changed to another
file host, that at the time seemed to suit my purposes very well. They had
been in business a while, and their file retention seemed excellent.
Unfortunately, that file host too came under investigation, and was taken
down completely. I then made my third file host change, to Filefactory, which
was about the only host left other than Megaupload, which I could not stand.
So......a very simple choice for me and over the years, it's proven to be a
wise choice, as the file retention rate has been incredible. Megaupload?
Well we all know what happened to them.
It's funny now that I think about it, but if not for the very file host that
caused enough uproar amongst VEF members AND moderators, to actually
try to force me to use another file host in the beginning........very few if any
file host links posted at VEF would have still been alive after RS and MU bit
the dust.
So........although a very high percentage of those who have posted things here at VEF are
looking to "make a living" with their endeavors.........there are a great deal many more
that do not.
