I am a member of Hriders.com, they are a motorcycle online magazine and search engine.

Last night they decided to reward the millions of members that signed up for the free 3GB email acct.

And they did something truly Hellacious they decided to up the email to a 10 Gigabyte email account.

Anyone can join Hriders.com for free and get a free 10 Gigabyte email account, that holds over 400,000 emails, over 20,000 pictures & 20,000 songs & over 500 one minute videos.

They now give more free email than any other site on the net.

I am telling everyone I know, you should too.

I suppose what you will really need to look out for is if you start to get increased spam now that you have signed-up, if they are indeed not actually sending you a password.

Speaking from experience with my own sites that I run (outside of this one), I would make sure that your spam filters aren't catching the e-mail that they send you with the password.

I don't use the service, nor do I know anyone that uses it - so I have no idea to the legitimacy or if they are just messing with people - but thanks for keeping us updated.

*This comment has been removed by the Spamblogging admin (Eric) because after much discussion within the site and via e-mail, it appears the content was unfounded and at best argumentative. Since Spamblogging isn't meant to be a medium on which people can extend their grudges, either real or imagined, I have removed the comment. I am not locking comments on these threads though, so please feel free to discuss this further if you feel this was in error at this point.*

You guys except for that harley guy, I joined Hriders.com 10 mins ago and I got my password right away.

When you join it tells you to submit the username you wish to the webmaster, maybe you folks forgot to do this???

Anyway, they treated my fair, the 100Gb 500MB attachment is great, and being a Biker they have my full support. Very cool that a Biker site should be the largest free email give-a-way in the history of the net.

All i see on this site is complaints about this and that. I think most of you are children with nothing better to do,

Jason,

Have you used their service? Do you have any way of backing up your opinion of them (which doesn't appear to be very good)? Or is it just idle conjecture?
As to weather they are "lying, crooks, or fraudsters" I don't think it matters. What matters is that if you can use their service and it works.
As to the technical issue of how they handle the disk space, technically they don't need to have all of that disk space all at once. Sure, if they had 36M people actually fill up 100GB, they would need that hardware. But it is hard to do to fill that up, so they have some lead time before they need to get the hardware.
So they are likely doing just fine and can use the funds which build up from subscriptions to make sure they can add hardware if need be - this is how most all co-located facilities work, and that is what Hriders is run under from what it looks like.
