拿來作backup的Eponym 要停止免費服務了

今天收到這封信:

Starting November 1st Eponym will start providing a free 30 day trial blog and will be discontinuing our free blog package. For those of you who are using our free blog package, you will be automatically moved to the free 30 day trial package on November 1st. At the end of the 30 day trial (November 30th), your blog will need to be upgraded for your blog to remain active.

If you wish to keep your blog active, please go to https://secure.eponym.com/upgrade/ to upgrade.

It was a hard decision for us to stop offering the free blog package, however there were two major factors that influenced us. First, we did not like having to put advertisements on people's blogs. We know that our users would put up with the ads to have a free blog, but we don't want you to have to “put up” with anything, especially an invasive and annoying ad on your blog that you can't control. Second, the advertising revenue from the free blogs that we did receive was not nearly enough to cover the costs of providing the free blogs. Looking at these two reasons, we knew that we had to make a change to keep Eponym going strong.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this causes for some of you, but we feel that it is absolutely necessary for us to continue to provide the best blogging service, software, and community on the Internet.

Thank you for using Eponym!

也就是說，拿來作backup的bloghost : Eponym 要收費了。

大概也猜得到，因為用沒多久就開始限制流量，然後又這個的，又那個的。
現在終於...宣佈停止免費的服務，所以。那個blog就要被刪掉囉。

這也是很奇怪的事，另一個blog backup的的方式 MSN Live Space (因為Eponym 和 MSN Live Space都支援 mail to blog)，兩個site的文章是一模一樣，但是在Eponym的流量就大得多(很多)`知道是甚麼原因。
（難怪有這麼多人死命的就是要待在無名)

剛發現 這個： http://checko.beeplog.com/ 也支援mail to blog，那就轉換到這吧。
