:!: Important notice :!:

Dear users,

We have seen a lot of hostility towards foolsdesign.org Web site lately. Anywhere that we mention foolsdesign.org, our accounts get swiftly banned and all posts removed. Even when doing paid advertisement, as soon as they find out it is for this Web site, the account gets shut down and our advertisements removed.

Even though we do not host or post anything "illegal", it is very clear that we are not "liked" by the mainstream forums and media because not only we do not follow their corporate agenda, we also expose their foolish practices.

So... in case the Web site gets shut down (speaking about our hosting plan at Namecheap) do NOT worry. We are here to stay. We fully and legally own the (.COM/.ORG/.NET) top-level domains for "Fool's design". This notice is specifically about the hosting service in case of "unforeseen interruptions". We might be offline a day or two, perhaps up to one week but we will get back online again. We have arranged an automatic backup which sends the entire Web site data, including the attachments (files, pictures, forum database) every night to an external private colocation server. It is always a good practice to have your data in your own hands and not only have it "in the cloud".

A huge thanks to Paranormal Stories for giving us full unrestricted access to their private server.

:idea:
On a side note, This is in no way a hint that Namecheap would be shutting us down nor that they have told us anything like that. We would like to publicly state that we are VERY happy with Namecheap hosting plan and their excellent hosting services and support. The backup is just a precaution in case of "emergency". Again, Namecheap professional business plan which we are currently using is excellent and if you are looking for a good hosting place, we warmly recommend Namecheap.

What's their beef anyway?

We have no idea why, perhaps a case of psychotic madness. :?
