[email protected]Hi,
Firstly, your site is still over-subscribed as of today; thus we decided to do a little background checking and things like that. This was what we pull up from the applications and found that one of your technical contact namely koyo aka Adrian request for the older files to be put back.*(See Email below)

Note the date, it was essentially on 2/5/01 that Adrian aka Koyo agreed on clearing up the old files. It has since been over a month; and our second email did not seem to get the message across over either.
On another issue, we recently visited your site and found a "partial" threat on it updated today *(Below)

>Balls to u asshole. If u really come tomolo and find snappers' trouble, your in for a good time.
>Koyo
The above even comes with a Picture of the Admin involved.
Essentially, HTGK is affiliated with PAGN. We do not know your grievances with the particular person involved however "insulting/threatening" a person publicly on a web site is liable for a lawsuit. (libel, defamation)
Even though HTGK is not liable for our content by hosted sites, it does reflect badly on us. In short, we do hope that such occurrences do not appear and the above is removed ASAP.
HTGK will be trimming your site down to the max quota of 25 megs by this week.
Lastly, we noted that your esteemed clan is looking for a commercial hosting; thus if you do move out, we wish you all the best.
Regards
Zakyn
HTGK Operations
P.S. HTGK has a 3-tier system whereby the site would be wiped when we do send the 3rd letter.

[End of Quotation]
As you could see, we have quite some conflicts with HTGK and we are quite restricted and that is my view that we should look for another webhost which impose lesser restriction on us. We can't expect too much from a free webhost, it's up to the rest of you guys if you want another webhost or stick to HTGK.
Personally, I am up for another one. I hate restrictions, however, freedom does not comes free, there is a fee to pay.
If I still get no answer from anyone by next week, we'll just forget about miragecorps.org,
[email protected] email and blah blah.
