Mine GO BOOM

http://www.youvegotpost.com/

They are offering 1TB worth of email. And I'm in a nice little group in which we attempt to check out if their offer is true. My spam address is ilikebigfiles@youvegotpost.com, so feel free to spam that with as much large files as you'd like. If you'd also like to join in the little experiment, just post the address below here, and I'll get the SA Goons to send you some nice large files to waste space with.

How can they possibly offer 1 terabyte to millions of people (potentially 1 exabyte)? They must be counting on most people coming no where near that much space, and maybe some compression. I'm also guessing their bandwidth is such that downloading large files that are in your inbox would be painful.

I'm sure they're guessing no one would use a TB; but there again, who knows... there are people out there who like to push the limits

Well, we are trying, and according to their help forums, the admins actually want people to try, for now at least. Earlier today, I was pulling full speed on my cable modem downloading. Now, I'm peaking at 60k.

Hehe, and my inbox is already half a gig.

116ms ave, pfft.
Edit:

Edit2: How about making a macro that just forwards the same message to yourself over and over, that way you only need to receive or upload 1 massive attachment once.

Oh, we got ourselves banned from that place. I was upto 1.5 gig before I went to sleep too. Anyways, now they are at 20meg. Oh, and their admin is very nice and smart.

Yeah, they sort of are going under right now, threating legal action against a bunch of people. Pretty amusing right now, you should read through the SA thread about it. Very good read.

There saying there back online > http://www.officialspin.com/main.php?action=recent&rid=1605

But I thought no new users could Sign-Up or anything. How is that "Back Online"?

I tried to register for a new account last night but it kept saying "that username is reserve" or something like that no matter what I tried.

I also did a bit of research last night and found out that the MPC Trust, who owns Bavadarge Limited (DBA You've Got Post!), also owns their webhost (3105.com) and officialspin.com. Interesting.

Edit: Whoops, just discovered a goon had already found this out. Still interesting though.

You can't register because your ISP is on the blacklist which was generated from all the deleted accounts.

Well after emailing their tech support, who denied they ever had a problem, I tried again and it worked... sorta. Still never got a validation email.

Also, they've totally rewritten their TOS so it looks more official but it's still worded like crap
