A World Without XOOM -- The Dream Has Come True

A World Without XOOM -- The Dream Has Come True

Our goal: a world free of XOOM and its terrible influence upon our society.

Visitors:

NOTE: This page was originally hosted on the website formerly known as XOOM, but I decided to host it here instead, because XOOM is so slow and unreliable that I was never able to make changes to my site. This page was never meant to be taken very seriously, although I did use it as a soapbox to voice some of my opinions. Razor's [now defunct and somewhat unintentionally ironic] Anti-XOOM Page was the ORIGINAL Anti-XOOM website, at least as far as I know -- feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Back then I made a solemn vow to continue spreading the word until someone listened to what I had to say, and eventually, it worked. Thank you for visiting, and don't forget to check out the rest of the site, because unlike this crummy page, some of the other sections are actually worth a visit.

hello there

Hi, my name is...Razor, and I have set up a webpage to let the world know that you should NEVER, under any circumstances, sign up for free webspace with the website formerly known as XOOM..

XOOM is, without a doubt, one of the worst webspace providers on the Net. Oh, sure, it seems like a good deal at first, but try to build a page or two and properly manage your files -- before long, you'll wish you'd never even heard of the Internet! Well, maybe it's not quite that bad, but it is pretty awful. Read on for more...

First of all, it may indeed be true that XOOM does give you free webspace, but so does (among hundreds of others) http://www.google.com, and they're a much better service! Also, the free e-mail XOOM gives you...well, I'll say this: it is, in a word, pitiful, to put it as kindly as I possibly can. Do yourself a favor and sign up with Hotmail, MailCity, Juno, or any one of the thousands of other free e-mail providers on the Net. BUT DON'T SIGN UP WITH XOOM! I'm not kidding here.

SOME GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER SIGN UP WITH XOOM:
1.INSANELY SLOW SERVERS
2.FANTASTICALLY UNRELIABLE E-MAIL
3.VOMIT-INDUCING WEBHOSTING SERVICES
4.ADS, ADS, AND MORE ADS (plus lots of ads, too)

And those, my friends, are just a few of the reasons why you should never sign up with XOOM! If I were to try to list them all here, I would have to increase the size of this website by several hundred pages just to fit it all in! I'm not kidding here.

If, for some reason, you wish to design a website using XOOM, please consider a competent psychiatric evaluation first. XOOM makes it nearly impossible for you to edit and view your HTML and other files easily. In most cases, you have to download special programs to your hard drive just to be able to upload your files (Angelfire, Geocities, and FortuneCity don't make you go through all that), and half the time, XOOM decides that your files are "inappropriate" according to their so-called "Terms of Service" and kicks you off with no warning! Believe me when I say that I am NOT lying about this, because I've seen it happen many times before. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH XOOM. PLEASE. I'M NOT KIDDING HERE.

XOOM's special brand of "e-mail," as I've noted earlier, is, IN MY NOT-SO-HUMBLE OPINION, terrible. Just plain awful. Meanwhile, their servers have been known to be incredibly, painfully, ridiculously slow, and half the time your page won't even come up because the servers are down. That's another major problem with XOOM: a lot of the time, their servers aren't working properly, which can and will cause problems for you and others who try to visit your website. NEVER, EVER SIGN UP WITH XOOM, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE VERY SORRY FOR IT IN THE FUTURE. Go with Angelfire, Geocities, anything as long as you don't sign with XOOM! I'm not kidding here.

IN XOOM'S OWN WORDS, THIS IS WHY I CANNOT UPDATE MY OLD PAGE AT XOOM:

"NOTE: Due to an error in a server move, Easy File Manager may not be able to edit your Easy Page Builder pages. Please check What's New for more info."

One word: What? You mean to tell me I can't update my XOOM page...ever? The only way to "update" your page is to delete it and start all over again! What a crock that is, huh? I can't think of anyone else who makes you go through that! Now my brain hurts from thinking too much...again!

SOME DECENT WEBSITES WHICH PROVIDE FREE WEBSPACE INCLUDE:

Angelfire
50Megs
Geocities
ARealCity
Hypermart
VirtualAve
Tripod

XOOM WANTS TO KIDNAP SANTA CLAUS (well, maybe).

You don't want XOOM to kidnap Santa Claus, do you? After all, Santa Claus brings laughter and presents to millions of little boys and girls around the world each Christmastime. But from what I've heard (and this may not be confirmed as of yet) XOOM is planning to kidnap Santa Claus for some unknown reason. If you don't want that to happen, just keep reading!

Don't like the background on my old XOOM webpage? Well, neither do I, but I can't do a single thing about it! Once you've built a page with XOOM, you can never change the background or some of the images on that page again. For some reason, XOOM won't allow you to do much else other than change the text on your page, and unless you know HTML, you can't personalize your text color, font, size, or anything of the sort! I just don't know what to think anymore...

THE FOLLOWING WAS CUT-AND-PASTED FROM AN ACTUAL PAGE OF XOOM'S "EASY PAGE BUILDER V. 2.0":

Caution! Please Do Not Use:

ACCENTED CHARACTERS
complicated HTML code
DOLLAR SIGNs($)

Okay, now can someone please tell me what is going on here? Not only is XOOM unreliable, but they also make it next-to-impossible to build a fully-functional page, especially for a novice webmaster! Something is seriously wrong...

And, as one last good reason why you should never sign with XOOM, just take a look at the MASSIVE banner ad hanging off the top of my page (or any XOOM page, for that matter). I sure didn't authorize putting it there. XOOM loves to intrude onto your webpage as much as possible, and if you think that your page won't be covered with XOOM ads (among other stuff) soon after you initially build it, I've got a bridge to sell you. Seriously, I do. I'm not kidding here.

One More Little Tiny Thing...

XOOM, if you keep sticking that ridiculous "Snap.com Search Engine" box onto my page, I...well, I'll get really angry about it! Your Terms of Service may say that you can put a limited number of ads on my site, but they don't say anything about nonfunctional search boxes! So get rid of it, please! This is my page, after all. Right? Actually, before I go, there's something else I need to touch on really quickly: NEVER, EVER SIGN UP WITH CROSSWINDS.NET, EITHER. ISN'T THIS ANNOYING? ISN'T THIS ANNOYING? ISN'T THIS ANNOYING?

Seriously, don't. I'm not kidding here.
