Yahoo Sux

[Abercrombiestud]

Yahoo totally sucks!!! They just deleted one of my email accounts where I kept 100's of photos of the hottest guys in diapers, cribs, strollers, playpens, highchairs, you name it. I had that email address since 2002 and I had the hottest photos in that account. I logged into that account every few days and now nothing:dunno:

 

[starshine]

You must be devastated.

:cryhankie:

 

[EmeraldsAndLime]

I... uhhh... well...

Maybe they deleted it for some strange, unknown reason. Who knows what reason that could possibly be.

 

[Spirit]

Yeah, all of my legitimate accounts have been deleted for no apparent reason, too.

 

[Nexeon]

Mine seems to be dead also. I didn't use it much so it doesn't matter that much, but still that's pretty bad. I had it for 5 years and never really had any problems with it until now.

 

[Martin]

I only use my account for IM and that still works for me.

 

[quattrus]

That's what data storage supports such as CDs and DVDs exist for...... you'll never be sure of what happens to anything that's "out there" on the net!

 

[Spirit]

Hang on, is this discussion serious? I'm confused.

 

[Abercrombiestud]

So others are having this problem too?

Hang on, is this discussion serious? I'm confused.

Yes this discussion is serious. I have been collecting pics found on the net since 2002 and everytime I would find a few good pics I would then upload them to my email account for viewing later on. Now all my pics dating back to as early as 2002 are all wiped out.

Yea. That's why CDs, DVDs, flash drives, and external harddrives were invented. I can't believe you actually kept all of those pics online. Why didn't you just store them on your harddrive? There is a huge thread about how to hid pictures and stuff in the Mature Topics section. There were some great ideas there. As for Yahoo deleting your account, I've had my account for a long time and they have never deleted it.

 

[Ben]

It sounds to me like you maybe had questionable images in your account... perhaps you did other questionable things.

I use my yahoo thing for email and IM and it still work for me even though I have this much unchecked mail....

Yahoo also deletes diaper groups as well. I am pretty sure that's why they got rid of your e-mail containing all those pictures. Anyways a flash memory card or a USB flash drive would of gave you enough space for the pictures.

GMail is the same. Don't touch them. I was hiding files with inconspicuous names embedded into emails with .abc formats on the basis at the time our college didn't allow flash drives/uploading on the basis of like, £40,000 worth of software going missing.

Low and behold, they still ban my account. So, kiddos, Google reads your email, aren't they good?

I have had a yahoo account for as long as I can remember, but i don't use it now. But I log into it once every 2 months after I get a complaint of a friend saying "check your email". I check my Gmail accounts everyday, They just sent it to the wrong addresss. I have told them noumerous times, I have been using my Gmail account a few months after they opened up the service.

Error404, They are bound to check the headers of the files and see that they are images. I have never really read the ToS specifically for Gmail, But there is bound to be "periodic checking of legitimate use".

I never really made it habit to store files in my email. I find it slow and tedious. If I have to send files, I usually put it in a passworded Rar/ZIP. That way, its all encrypted and they can't see what file names are inside. In fact I might have one or two files in my gmail that are pirated... Just gotta guess the password.

Also, Error404 similar to Software stored at my school. The files and serials were all stored in a convent easy to reach place that asked to be taken! That was like that for a few years until they tidied the place a few months ago. But Hay, our school makes it easy for use, the new computers they have now are equipped with working DVD-RW!

I've never had a problem with Yahoo! email, though granted I don't use it to store dirty photos. Ditto for gmail, except uh, might be a few dirty photos there.. from this one girl I know but that's another story .

If you're afraid of Google reading your email, I'd suggest a combination of gmailfs and encfs. You can use that to create an encrypted directory on your gmail. Using EncFS with GMailFS | bramschoenmakers.nl

 

[Vladimir]

Right, I remember my friend saying he didn't want to use Gmail because it said they were allowed to check people's emails or something.

But then again, he uses Yahoo and didn't say anything about that. :/

That just my unread mail....this is how much mail I have in my yahoo email...

Perhaps you should read the Terms of Services before opening an account. I know its a lot of dizzling text, but at least it gives you notion about what is correct and what might be reasonably gross for the company. Yahoo has inforced those ToS a lot more since they had those issues with Microsoft, and I don't blame them. Hotmail, on the other hand, seems more reliable with err... questionable stuff. I have never had a problem with my hotmail account with all that porn subscriptions, and perhaps you get by far less spam that with Yahoo (my account had by far 10 hours on and I had got like 10 emails about a contest I have never signed on).

Anyway, like they all said, a CD or a USB memory seems to be always the answer for all your problems. USB flash memories are now cheap, or you can buy a CD for less than a buck, and I can assure you your data will be there for at least one hundred years, unless you scratch it of course.
