[edit] "Megaupload.com's Reward Programe" edit

User Special:Contributions/203.131.157.174 made an intriguing edit on the page that has yet to been reverted back. I'm interested in knowing if this is valid criticism and if there are any sources online to justify keeping a mention of this "fake reward program" phenomenon. Hong-baba 18:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

Don't you think that the Criticism section is a bit odd? Only the first statement contains critique regarding Megaupload. Second contains critique to the file-hosting as a whole. And the last two aren't critical statements at all (at least from my POV).Dreambringer 07:56, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

"Search engines are commonly used to find download links about a specific subject, including illegally shared files, such as adult movies and games." Deleted this line. HamSalad 08:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No. 1 ?

Megaupload is currently number 1 website for free file hosting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.72.144 (talk) 02:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mentioning Megarotic?

www.megarotic.com (not work safe) seems to be a sister site of Megaupload, but geared towards pornographic content. Might be worth mentioning.

[edit] Sounds like an ad

The two last sections of this article sound like some sort of ad... 65.23.241.249 (talk) 03:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Find and include only accurate information

I've had to correct some guy's mistakes, because he got his information from a flash graphic at the bottom of the MegaUpload site. Anyone planning to make further edits to this (or any other) article, please gather your information from either the FAQs or the Terms of Service. That holds the correct information in the correct context.

You cannot gather any useful or accurate information from a flash graphic that says: "Unlimited Transfers and 250 Gigs of Storage / 14.99 for two months | 79.9 for two years". Look in the terms for the useful stuff, like what "unlimited transfers" actually mean, or that "250 gigs of storage" doesn't mean 250G upload file size.

Sorry for bitching, but I'm sick of the naivety of accepting as truth anything that's written briefly on a website, ESPECIALLY in a graphic or other such marketing element.
