abusers

This list is very out-of-date, and will be updated soon. Thank You.

These days everyone's in it to put money into their back pocket at the end of the day. So, before you think about getting an account with a FREE Webspace Provider or a FREE URL Redirector, check the abusers section of popBusters to see what they abuse, and also the eliminate section to see how to eliminate their ads. If you can't see a FWP or FUR here, then e-mail popbusters@hello.net.au with the details of the FWP or FUR (Their Name, Their URL, Your Name [optional], Your E-Mail Address [so I can get back to you]).

pop-up abusers

These companies have decided that the only way they can make money is offering poor HTML newbies FREE Web Space & E-Mail or FREE URL Redirection and throwing a pop-up ad on it, crashing more computers than a virus ever has. Or, is the pop-up ad a virus?

frames abusers

These people abuse frames to their advantage, placing ads and other gimmicks and gizmos in them. I think that they are a shocking group of people. These sorts of companies are popping up every day, still using frames. HELLO? There's newer technologies than frames! Netscape, the best browser, has been supporting frames since version 2.0.

ad bar abusers

The following group of companies put advertising banners or bars on your web site, either advertising their service (like the Netscape SiteCentral and Homestead ones), or supporting sponsors (like FreeServers.com and Yahoo! GeoCities. These ones aren't *so* bad, if they're advertising their service, like the Netscape and Homestead ones, especially Homestead because it's at the bottom of your page if you use frames. These still detract from your content, though and make you look stupid!

e-mail abusers

These companies are ones that you should signup for a new e-mail account before you signup with these providers. They constantly send you "offers" which are actually paid ads. For a new e-mail account, check out MSN Hotmail.
