I wish I could do it, but I can't afford to hire fulltime folks to sit and sift through the hundreds of dead link reports I get every day.

i would be willing to help you through that process, if you wanted ;)

There is no true unlimited because your server can only process so much traffic. Unmetered is where they don't keep track of it, but if your traffic is humongous you'll kill your server. Thus there is no unlimited. Many servers are limited by their datacenter or upstream provider as well, since their optical connections can only handle so much data.

Chances are your site is set to innactive, not deleted. What site is it?

Actually I just checked... All your tutorials seem fine to me, and your site is active. If you just submitted tuts in the last few days, they are still in the queue. You can look at the webmaster source site page from www.tutorialseek.com and it tells you if you have any in the queue and how many.

Nope, if you get unmonitored dedicated hosting (like 300 bucks a month :P) then bandwidth is unlimited. Sites like microsoft, google, etc use that kinda stuff.

That has already been explained;

Or to fix all of this, you can use my website for hosting.

I have over 50GB of un used bandwidth monthly...

http://ig.theuau.com or email me your images and I'll put em up manually.

So? I have like over 160+ GB unused a month supposedly. I pay only $5 thanks to a coupon code... Problem is I'm not sure that I really have that, so I really don't know. Supposedly I have 5GB a day, but I have never even used 1GB. So... yeah.

[Edit]Never mind, I found it. Very useful.

does this policy amend to sigs as well? Like can you use imageshack to host a sig, or would that violate this rule as well. I read everything but it's late, I might have skipped over it.

Funny, I have that kind of plan and I still have a limit. It's 2 Terabytes.

You can host your sigs wherever you like. It doesn't really affect us that much if it's a dead link.
