Virtualave Nonsense
A few years ago I signed up for a free VirtualAvenue.net website, they offered a subdomain for free with a little bit of space and ftp access, with the one problem of massive banner and pop-up ads…
I had a rather large site there, there wasn’t much content, but there were lots of files and lots of time spent learning all about the wonders of nested tables. Dont need it now though, haven’t needed it for a few years to be perfectly honest, but I kept the domain active, mostly because whenever I signed up for anything online where I thought they might send me offers, I used (something)@wolfden.virtualave.net as a spam trap/redirect. Thus, if I was filling in a form at GameSpy.Com I would use the email address gamespy @wolfden.virtualave.net and all email would be directed to my Yahoo account.
Want to stop that now. I now just give out my Yahoo address, the one I try to keep free is my PlatinumWeaver email, and I keep my ISPs address completely off the ‘net.
Unfortunately, VirtualAve dont seem to know how to remove an account.
There doesn’t seem to be any automated way to do so.
The Tech support crew cant do it.
Now we have ‘Sales Analysts’ looking into the problem.
I bet if I wanted to upgrade my account they’d have a solution immediately…
