Stupid claims made by websites
Okay, I have decided to start a thread about stupid claims made by websites. A good example is www.coolfreepages.com who claim
Quote:
PHP4 Support (This is unique and unprecedented among free hosting companies! NO ONE offers this!! Not even most PAY hosting companies! With PHP you can have your own scripts and handle even the database for your business, or anything else you want!!!)


First of all they are not unique, there are others and since when do most paid hosting companies not support PHP? Also the version they are running is PHP 4.0.6, lmao!

Someone is overdue for an upgrade!

There are laws against that, right? False advertising etc.

I just sent them an email questioning them about it... the reply should be quite interesting.

I sent them a check for $14,000 but haven't heard back from them. Should I be concerned?

Well, I knew sooner or later everyone would move to Q-BASIC... I just didn't think it would happen this fast!

Well,

$30k is a lot of money, so I thought I'd start right at the beginning with Plankalukul - since Sepo secretly emailed me and asked for help. What a big man he is for admiting it.

GW-Basic? Now, now... Let's not run before we Sepo can walk.

I have one for you...

This company, not only are calling themselves 'Internicks' but have
completely molested both Server Beach's and Megapop's websites.

Internicks.com

If you look closely, you may find a link to the 'top' that actually
still points back to ServerBeach...IN THEIR FRAME!! ROTFL!!!
