My rant for tonight, and BOY am I ever MAD

[weatherlover427]

I suggest you please re-instate my account because:

1) I do not and cannot have a credit card
2) I do not and cannot have PayPal
3) I live off of SSI
4) You are the only hosting service that works for me

Dear joshuayoung,


During our latest account audit, it was determined that your BoomSpeed.Com account, username " joshuayoung " was being used in violation of the Terms of Service specified for use of free 1 Meg accounts on BoomSpeed.Com. Your account has been disabled to stop it's use as such. The majority of the TOS violations are from referencing an image hosted on BoomSpeed.Com from a non-auction related site using a Free 1 Meg Account.

These restrictions are not in place for those with upgraded paid subscriber accounts so you would not be limited in where you could reference and include your images from if you were an upgraded account. In addition, all subscriber accounts have full access to 100Megs of disk storage space, as opposed to only 1Meg on the free accounts. Your files have not been removed yet but will be during the monthly system cleanup at the end of each month.

We understand that a lot of our users might not be aware of the Terms of Service restrictions on free 1Meg accounts. The URL for reading the current (and sometimes updated) TOS is http://www.boomspeed.com/terms.htm

Your account can be quickly reactivated if you become a BoomSpeed.Com subscriber and help support us in providing the service that you have found to be so very easy to use.

With your upgrade, your account will quickly be reactivated and all of your files will still be intact, meaning you would not have to change any site that was referencing your images which initially caused the deactivation of your account. With this account you can store ALL of your images and other files on our server and have them instantly available on the Internet for your use in auctions or anything else you might need them for.

We look forward to having you as a member. Subscribers pay $6/month (billed in $18 quarterly payments every 3 months) via a Credit Card charge made on or around the 1st of the months of January, April, July & October. For anyone upgrading after the 15th of each month, the charge is only $3 for that month and then a pro-rated amount until the end of that current quarter. So anyone upgrading at the end of March would normally be billed $3.00 immediately and then $18.00 at the beginning of April.

We are currently running a Memorial Day 2003 special until the end of May 2003. With this special, users wanting to upgrade only pay $1.99 until the end of Q2 (June 2003) instead of the usual /month for June. For details please see

Who is the first part directed toward? It seems to me like there's a major problem with their priorities.
