Re: Using GotSky's Vanity Webspace

My WB service is through Gotsky too. My main complaint with their webspace is the use of the user name in the URL which identifies our primary email addresses. Their security is sloppy. For example, your FAP meter reads:

FAPZILLA -u williammc

and you have the Select Pack:


When spammers figure out how to construct our emails addresses from our webspace, we will be victimized.

Can you simply use a secondary email address that is different than your username?

That is an excellent point though, a case where the old-school way of doing things is no longer secure against the bottom feeders.

Spammers must be slugs, no spam, so far, hmmmm think I've been a GotSky customer since September/October 2007.

By the way, email from that email address get forwarded to a child account, neither seen spam since using them, so far.
