FAQ
---
Q:
Will you ever add a web interface with HTML forms?
A:
No. This would without a doubt make it very popular and quickly exceed
my hosting budget unless I started crippling it.
Q:
What about file management? Will I be able to register an account at some
point?
A:
No.
Q:
Why are you storing IP addresses with each uploaded file?
A:
This is done to make dealing with legal claims and accidental uploads
easier, e.g. when a user requests removal of all text files uploaded from
a certain address within a given time frame (it happens).
Q:
Do you accept donations?
A:
Only if you insist. I’ve spent very little time and effort on this service
and I don’t feel like I should be taking money for it.
