Default Who let the chinese out?
lol.

So I woke up this morning, thinking I was just going to approve the usual 5-10 new members I get well I sleep and BAM. 178 clients pending.

At first my reaction was that someone was being a bit of a jerk and just created a bunch of phoney requests. I checked about half of them, none were the case!

After some careful research (fiddling around) I discovered that a major chinese site (I couldn't read what the site was about) had listed me.

I guess them chinese really like their free stuff eh?

On a side note: Does anyone know how to force php ad's without it messing up?

Nothing against the Chinese, but when I ran a free host, that was the biggest problem I had. TOS clearly stated English only sites, but I got flooded with Chinese sites, most of them hosting illegal content anyway.

You will find the chinese users are abusers... Not all of them but a big share upload files/photos and before you know it they have used 10 gigs of bw.

As far as forced ads one method is mod_layout. It does mess up gzip, but most scripts will still work with out gzip.

yea, that's a bit scary.. I just started hosting free accounts today - and they must have found my site listed here, because i had 10 sign up's in 20mins - so i just banned the ip range.

Do signups from those chinese ips ever create actual web pages or anything? or is it all just pirated files.
