From 2MB to 250MB in one night without paying a cent. Thanks hotmail!
Yeah I don't know how the hell this happened. But it's sweet.

DarkMaster is trying to hide all of the porn emails he receives.
And the fact its photoshopped.
Considering the MB amount isnt bold.
well, on mine it isnt.
EDIT:
*reads Dynes Post*

Considering I don't have photoshop...
And hey guess what else is different between your MB and mine? The fact that mine is 250 and yours isn't.
hahahaha, yeah, like it's not as if I would send myself some school work to later be printed at school by uploading it from my hotmail!!!

Well, it's in response to Gmail, I know that.
I had no idea when they were rolling it out though. My hotmail hasn't been updated yet though, so...... dunno :(
Did you do anything special to get that boost?

Congratulations DarkMaster. Will you be attaching bigger files to your e-mail now?
DarkMaster
10-14-2004, 01:56 PM
Didn't do anything special, every day I check my hotmail maybe once just to delete some crap which would be taking up space. Yesterday I noticed I somehow had only 1% taken up, so I was like "sweet".

Yeah, they are updating mine right now, because it says it is temporarily unavailable for some "technical" reason.

Hmmm......They didnt upgrade my hotmail....they just shut it down for 2 hours...
(Mainly, i wanted an excuse to quote myself in a back-to-back post...because I've never seen it.)

This is an outrage! I guarantee you that the staff will hear about this if it's the last thing I do! :mad:

lies all lies... You don't really have 250MB of space, my hotmail account has said that too (for like a month or more now, I think)... Click it...
It's just advertising for their new special premium service... showing you what kind of space you WOULD have if you sign up... Only $19.95/Year! Sign up today!
DarkMaster
10-15-2004, 03:12 PM
I don't have the option of clicking it.
All of my friends have 250 mb. I don't have a hotmail, but I'm pretty sure everyone's getting this.
It's the fall plan. To combat Yahoo AND gmail, they're boosting everyone up. If you're not being boosted up, Microsoft hates you and wants you to die.

Now that you mention it, the improvement to my account happened at about the same time I preordered Halo 2...
Coincidence, or conspiracy?

Microsoft hates me and The Spinto Band then. :distress:

Nah, mine's still at 2MB too. I think DarkMaster's sleeping with high ranking MS officials. :p

Is your account close to maxing the storage? I'm thinking maybe they're giving it mainly to people who are always near full storage, like me. I have pages of emails I have never deleted, because they contain valuable information I may need at some point, so basically every day I'm just checking my hotmail for the sole purpose of cleaning it out to have space for important emails.
But now I'm always at 1% used storage. W00T
DeathsHand
10-23-2004, 07:02 PM
ok nevermind I have 250MB now..........
Maybe it's for accounts that have been open for a certain amount of time? I've been using this one E-mail account since I ever started doing stuff on the intranet yeaaaars ago....
I dunno...

I'm constantly pushing the red, and this account is two years old.
Still l33tless.

i've had my account for about 5 years...*shrug*

Ive had mine for about 2 to 3 years..or close to it..and ive always had the same amount of space.

Well I sent Hotmail an email on the matter and they responded a little later than they promised, but they certainly seem very nice and understanding on the matter. Here's what they had to say:

Hmm, that's good news, I guess I just have to be patient with it, though I do have that 2 GB worth of e-mail space with my two gmail accounts, so I don't know why I care too much...

Well...finally. 250MB's baby.
Somehow it dosent feel as good as it should.

Yeah, my band's e-mail was finally upgraded to 250 MB but my personal account isn't yet. It's great though because we always hovered at about 85% and now we're down to 1%...Fantastic.

Yeah, mine was just updated yesterday. Looks like they're getting around the the last of us all at once.
Blackmane
11-11-2004, 02:00 AM
Yea, I just got mine too.
Its nice to go from 30% space used down to 1% in one day.
I'm pretty sure it's based on how active your account is.
If you're up in the 50-100% storage usage then you get updated.
My old hotmail got updated even though I don't use it much anymore, but the 2 mb's were pretty done.

I was in the 75% area and didnt get updated till today. Mmmmm space :D
