Project: Testing FREE hosts for TRAFFIC SKIMMING

Since there was so much recent interest in the topic of free hosts potentially skimming foreign traffic, I thought I'd try to get the ball rolling on a GROUP PROJECT to test as many free hosts as possible and post the results.

Here's what you can do to help:

A) IF YOU LIVE IN THE US/CANADA
Post a list of free hosts plus 1 or 2 sample gallery links (after testing the gallery links to make sure that they display without a 404 error) and a VERY brief description of the gallery

Example:-

HOST: FreeHostZone.com
GALLERY: http://www3.freehostzone.com/~4free/30ako/cuteb.htm
DESC: b/w pictures of an asian model

B) IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE US/CANADA
Visit the galleries as they are posted and record the result, along the country you are browsing from and your browser language.

Example

Host: FreeHostZone.com
Result: Could see gallery OK
Country: Japan
Browser language: English

NOTE: Result should be one of:-

1) Could see gallery OK
2) Could not see gallery - redirected to a dialer page
3) Could not see gallery - redirected to POPUP HELL!
4) Could not see gallery - redirected to a 404 page
5) Could not see gallery - redirected to OTHER

Yes, this looks like a lot of work, but by getting everyone to pitch in it will go much quicker.

Of course, if you think I'm just wasting everyone's time, then tell me to GFY!
