Heh. I was about to post a similar question. My best guess is that these languages, using non-latin alphabets, would be difficult to screen for content that may violate the Member Agreement.

u'll all be glad to hear im not going to place any such script on my site, and us far as coolfreepages.com go, their terms are very discrimating, but that doesnt matter to me anymore, as i found out today that i have a domain name, 500mb hosting and unlimited bandwidth ....free by the way

Yes, I saw that too. I had to go back and read it twice to make sure I saw what I saw. And how in the world can they prevent "surfers" from the countries specified from surfing their sites?

I have a few choice words for any scum who stoops to such low moral values. But, being above such behavior, I will leave it at that.

I don't think that you are justified in compairing what you are wanting to do with what Microsoft does.

Why in the world do you want to reset someones home page anyway?? If you think that is going to help keep visitors or encourage them to come back then you are very wrong.

I thought you had a pretty good web site but you can bet your bottom dollar that I will NOT go back to it now. Because, if you are thinking of resorting to things such as this then there is no telling what other types of trickery or even illegal things you may be doing.

Thanks for letting us know your intentions.

It's not about loving you or hating you. It is about a pretty disgusting practice. Most of the time, resetting a users homepage automatically is done on porno sites. Since morals are already low there and most users will not report this since they probably don't want to advertise the fact that they frequent porno sites. I would think that the case for a lawsuit would be pretty good since you have done something on something that I own without my permission.

Best to create a good, worthwhile, useful site that people will want to make their homepage out of choice, or add it to their favourites!
