It was just a matter of time. I am extremely surprised they went this long without ads.

I also got the e-mail. I guess they have to do what they have to do. It was really impressive, however, when they could offer free, ad-less hosting. *shrugs*

With this, and the semi-recent close of DotNetPlayground, it seems *totally* free ASP hosting is coming to an end...

I am not really sad because they only give a limited amount of bandwidth anyway.

Yea but it was a great place to test your scripts or whatever you needed to do with it.

It is a great thing to have for people that want their own little 12 member community. I ran out of bandwidth when I hit ~ 35 members. I really wasnt that big.

That is indeed sad news . Now I will have to find another ad-less host for my forum until I get my own domain name. Back to Wii's site I guess
