coltR: Yes, I'm sure it isn't a good idea that you make more with us than anyone else, but yet can't spare 9.99 to redeem a Premium. I'm sure there are other hosts out there that will meet your "demands".
While I like your host, mostly for it's free user friendlyness & appealing/trustworthy design.
Honestly your attitude is something that could drive even the best uploaders away, when you sling shit on every other host and throw statements that simply isn't true at all.
I make 10 times more on Uploaded + RG + NF seperately, than on Uploadable, even by PPD only and after the rate change that is (Uploaded).
As i said before, i like your host, or more importantly my users like your host.. yet this doesn't change the fact that something is seriously wrong with your counting system.
The counts in the filemanager is pretty much what i've been getting on average on every other host i tested, while the counted stats are somewhat half/3/4's of that..
What you're saying is that every other host is wrong, and gladly pay it's uploaders for more downloads than they actually generate, or maybe you should look into it and thus not make the impression that you're shaving big time, and loose good uploaders because of this.
Just a friendly suggestion. Otherwise keep up the good work.
