there is also the notion that you will get one dollar for every download, but that is not entirely true. if you read their terms carefully, it says:

 

Firefox plus Google Toolbar: When a user you've referred to Firefox plus Google Toolbar runs Firefox for the first time, you'll receive up to US$1 in your account, depending on the user's location. Your referral must be a Windows user, who has not previously installed Firefox, in order for you to receive credit.

so, depending still on a user's location and being a first-time firefox user, you will get credited for up to one dollar per download -- meaning something from anywhere in between $0.00 to $1.00.

start with your circle of friends. encourage them to discuss things in your forum as much as they can. when you have good discussions and content going on in there, then perhaps those visitors who chance upon your forum would be enticed to register and join your discussions too. from there, your membership will start to get large and wide. :lol:as for topics, anything will be good for your forum, but it would be best if you can specialize in something you have a substantial knowledge of -- at least for a start. give your visitors (and potential forum members) topics they would want to contribute into -- even for just a query or a comment or additional info. as your discussions progress, you will gain more members wanting the same information or content as you have. :lol:start small, dream big! good luck with your forums.

itssami, you don't get it, do you? the sites you mentioned beforehand (including your own) may be in domaintools.com blacklist, but ONLY because it is using SpamHaus which incorrectly tagged the gamma.xisto IP to be the handler of spam. but looking into it (SBL40666), is it really from gamma.xisto? you're obviously having a hard time digesting the difference. to be more precise, does SBL40666 bear any reference to your pakdir.com (formerly hosted with Xisto) as the source of spam? you still can't answer it, can you? WHERE IS THE SPAM???? you didn't even answer if it's a problem of Xisto/xisto or spamhaus/domaintools? or is it just you crying spam when there is none at all?

 

but i give up on you. maybe others can explain it better for you. good luck with you.

i have reading that and i usually dont start blamining without any reason..and i wont argue anymore.

it's good to know you don't usually start blaming without any reason. but make sure first that you are blaming anybody FOR the RIGHT reason/s.

 

i really didnt mean what you guys are taking..im not fighting with Xisto thing.i was doing so much hard work to make my website and then i got to know that its blacklisted.i really disappointed me.and instead of explaining things here , you guys just started to take it on your ego.

well, Xisto along with the XISTO network has got a reputation to protect. the simplest explanation we can give is that you didn't DIG enough information to back up your claim of your subject: "Why Spam Is Spreading Through My Domain Email". i didn't see pakdir.com even mentioned in the SBL referred to in the blacklist, did you? you just took it hook, line and sinker from domaintools/spamhaus, right? and what else are people doing here, if not trying to come up with all sorts of explanations in previous posts? ego is not the real issue here. facts (correct, and not contrived) should be.

 

well...about my name servers are blue host..the answer is that when i saw my domain name as blacklisted i tried to contact you guys here but when this matter started..then i just bought the hosting package of bluehost..and as soon as i changed my ns..it cleared the status after 24 hours i think.

good for you.

 

so i think i will be no more using this hosting..but i will still say that you guys got me wrong.. as long as i was member here..( many months ) i didnt blamed anyone or i didnt use any bad language or any fighting or argue..i always respected the rules..and everything..

i simply needed some explanations and all that started.

 

right (read quote below).

 

yeah all the other websites r garbish and jusst Xisto is very perfect which can do nothing wrong ever.right.

...but try to face the realities apart from ur business.

...ask them to give u proofs which will definately not convince u as well.

 

'nuff said. any other reasons to keep this thread open? will let it stay open for a little while more for any further rebuttals.

moved from THE MIGHTY GOOGLE SEARCH!, to Google Services > Google Labs.

not exactly vintage ads... but just check with them if these images are "completely" free (they have a donation link, though): http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/vintageresources.html

also a nice selection of cliparts from days of old: http://antiqueclipart.com/

for images you already have, which you want to convert to have a vintage "feel", you can have them sepia-toned in photoshop or any other graphic editor. there's a lot of tutorials online on this, but here's a quick one for you which will hopefully start you going:

elevenmil, see if it updates on may 8 for you. just testing a theory of mine, since at least 2 moderators (me, and jlhaslip) are monitoring web stats (via cpanel AWSTATS) from the start of this month when this has been brought up in T17 staff's boards. we're still also waiting for an admin reply on this issue, so just keep posted for future updates. until then, there is no definite answer i can provide as moderator.

obviously, DOMAINTOOLS.com is returning FALSE POSITIVES with regards to their BLACKLIST. The SPAMHAUS project has got some cleaning up to do as well, since it is what is used by DOMAINTOOLS.com.

 

64.69.46.210, can be IP traced to gamma.xisto.com. SPAMHAUS's IP Address lookup brings it up as listed in their SBL (spam block list Ref#: SBL40666), BUT clicking that reference number brings up an altogether different IP (64.69.46.192/26) as listed on the Spamhaus Block List. do a quick search of 64.69.46.210 from that SBL page, and see what you find: NONE! so where does the problem lie? xisto? Xisto? or SpamHaus/DomainTools? the spam in question as reproduced on the spamhaus is CRYSTALSYSTEMSANALYSIS.COM and hosted with CALPOP.COM, which is not even remotely related to XISTO from what i know.

 

ITSSAMI, you are advised to THOROUGHLY STUDY first your claims before posting such in here, and JUMPING into conclusions. if anybody can dispute my findings above, please feel free to do so. i am open to the possibility of my being wrong.

 

and ITSSAMI, doing a WHOIS on your PAKDIR.COM shows you are hosted with BLUEHOST (ns1.bluehost.com, ns2.bluehost.com). and your domain's Blacklist Status is stated to be Clear. your other domain TALKBY shows it hosted on BLUEHOST as well, also with Blacklist Status as Clear.

 

are you STILL hosted with the xisto network? what other DOMAIN/S would that be? hoping to hear from you. You seem to have endless issues with XISTO, when the problem i can come up with is sitting between the chair and the computer on your end.

glad to have you here. welcome and enjoy your stay with Xisto.

google saves the day

 

the gist from http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

embed src="playlist.xspf" is the location of the ".xspf" playlist file.

Pay special attention to "playlist_url=playlist.xspf" part of this string, this is the explicit location of your playlist, and it could have been http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ instead of playlist.xspf

another explanation can be found at http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/

best to check the source of your app for documentation details.

 

as this is not exactly a Xisto.net concern (you said it's for your MYSPACE), i will move it to a more fitting section.

totally pointless thread. closed.

use the proper form now, and then your request will be queued in the Free Web Hosting Account forum. that is where the admin will process your request for approval.

are you sure http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is the correct URL? seems to be a fresh koobi cms installation (in german) to me, not a file hosting service similar to rapidshare, etc.

serverph: hmm.. actually the background of my flash is #999999. The black box is within the flash actually. It was done so as to give the black box a 3D feel. If you notice (which I hope you guys can), there is a slight shadow at the bottom and right hand side of the black box. It gives a subtle feel like the black box is raised. I try not to make the whole site black because i feel it gives a very gloomy feel to the site.. thanks for the advice, hopefully I'm not reading it wrongly.. =)

twas a suggestion only, to have all background in #999999 or black. but it's gloomy still, either way. to each his own though. i didn't notice the shadow/raised box effect in firefox 1280x1024 resolution though. will try to view it in a lower resolution next time.

Okay, I went and had a look. Definately something worth supporting, but how do non-american members of this forum support the cause? There isn't an American Congressman for my Province in Canada (yet).

just passing it on to people you know, for greater public awareness, may help i suppose. even if non-americans, we can all form a chain of resistance to this, alongside americans. i'm not american either, but steps like these to quelch NET NEUTRALITY especially from american soil, is something which will reverberate throughout the whole net sphere in a global sense. other countries and their isps and media bigwigs may join the bandwagon. in short, the threat not only affects american users, but eventually will affect us all.

Democrats lose House vote on Net neutrality

 

A hotly contested Democratic bid to enshrine extensive Net neutrality regulations in the law books failed Wednesday in the U.S. House of Representatives.

 

By a 34-22 vote, members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee rejected a Democratic-backed Net neutrality amendment that also enjoyed support from Internet and software companies including Microsoft, Amazon.com and Google.

so how does NET NEUTRALITY affect us all? Rep. Barton (R-Texas) has sponsored a bill to hand over the Internet to big telephone and cable companies. Rep. Rush (D-Illinois) supports Barton's bill that would stifle independent voices and small businesses (and that includes the MOST of us). would you be willing to have the media giants privatize internet as we know it?

 

but the fight is not yet over... you can still help SAVE THE INTERNET!

i'm greatly impressed with the menu animation. and fast, even on a dialup. bravo! maybe you can change the background of your page (#999999) to seamlessly blend your flash blackground color (which is black) with the other elements on the right column (your tagbox, etc.). just a suggestion though.

since the "Your Name In Chinese" thread has experienced a resurgence of interest the past few days., i thought i'd add the "Your Name In Japanese" in the hope it piques your interest as well. i was just lazily reading my usual feeds via RSS and this cropped out, out of the blue: http://japanesetranslator.co.uk/dictionaries/your-name-in-japanese/

 

here's a sample name: GEORGE (as in Dubya -- another resurging name in Xisto threads ) which is said to be pronounced as "JOOJI" in Japanese.

 

name translation can be viewed in different styles: Traditional, Calligraphy, Quirky, Sans-serif, Antique, Modern, and as shown below, Manga.

 

take it for a spin, and post your results here.

type "people power revolution" in google... and read how it was made possible (twice in 15 years) in one nation. the "color revolutions" in other countries which followed it, started as a "yellow revolution" in that country. first was to topple a dictator, second was to dislodge a corrupt president, and at the time of this writing, that country is teetering on another attempt -- this time to "unseat" a predominantly-viewed "illegitimate" president (widely accused of election rigging as the case in Azerbaijan where political activists Murad and Emin seemed to have it on video).

 

i'm not familiar with politics in Azerbaijan, but i'm familiar with the politics of the nation described above since i am a citizen of the place all my life. i will not name it, i will make you research it. from our experience, it takes a right mixture of popular support (working middle-class mostly) + military and police support + church/religious groups support, all with a single goal to end an oppressive/repressive regime, in a continued (days at end) mass action, which hopefully results to a bloodless (and relatively peaceful) revolution. it also helps to have a vibrant (and truth-focused) media (even if it is under constant threat by the people in power). international support does not come usually in play early on, until those three ingredients have catalyzed in such a way that no option is available left for the "people in power" other than to give in to "people power".

 

technology plays a vital part in revolutions too: TV/radio is one (as exemplified in people power #1). Communication systems like cellphones and internet (emails, online protests/campaigns) is another (as exemplified in people power #2) [short anecdote: SMS/txting played a major role in fasttracking the fall of one president. he is supposedly the first person brought down from power by short messaging (SMS). ]

 

maybe Murad and Emin, and peace-loving people from Azerbaijan could learn from our nation's experience, at least for a start. the only problem is, even after a successful and peaceful revolution, results may not be always what the people want if the same old faces linger in the shadows waiting to prey again. and it's hard for a nation to stand up as a whole again (there will always be oppositions, whichever side you're on), and it would take long to achieve reforms originally envisioned. but the struggle for peace and progress should continue, even if it takes a long time. at the end of the day, what's best for the country is what they should have in mind always.

"Oops! the lawsuit went off target!" maybe RIAA is playing darts blindly. that will give them a visible blackeye in the eyes of the public (not that the public eyes them with great regard anyway.)

treasuretrooper, again? please use the SEARCH function next time. warning waived this time. CLOSED.

do you plan on using a CMS for your site? there would be available plugins/mods you can use to accomplish that, i would suppose. or you can simply code your index.php to access the forum mysql db with the parameters you want to appear in it. you'll need php+mysql know-how for that.

resolved. closed.
