Down below, I've copied what has been posted on the submit page at hardcore junky describing problems with a large number of free hosts. I guess I'm just naive. However, I've personally used porncity, smutserver, and lightning free and never been aware of the practices described here -- in fact, those 3 at least have seemed to be very honest and I've certainly gotten my money's worth from using them
. As far as the others are concerned, I have no personal experiences to go on. So -- is it just that I'm not aware of what really goes on in the world of freehosts?
