Because of the computer room investigation, 5D6D's server was also affected and unable to log in, and tens of thousands of lords were implicated. When the computer room inspection was completed and the server was fully restored, 5D6D suddenly announced the launch of paid services. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
My territory ( www.5d6d.com ) is a Free Forum Hosting Services platform launched by Comsenz in 2006. Provide webmasters with a series of free services such as free domain names, free forum server space with unlimited capacity, free data bandwidth with unlimited traffic, and free professional-level forum technical services. It has been running for 3 years and has gathered more than 1 million vertical segmented forums.
As 5D6D, which once promised free unlimited space, unlimited traffic, and no ads, announced charges without warning, it is bound to cause strong reactions and commotion. After all, it had a solemn promise. However, 5D6D simply posted an announcement stating that "Users who have already bound a domain name will pay 30 yuan for the first month, and will receive 3 months of free binding. The fourth month will be charged 10 yuan per month; users with new bound domain names will be charged 10 yuan per month." Pay 30 yuan for one month, and 10 yuan per month starting from the second month, that is, 140 yuan for the whole year." This charging measure does not explain what services will be provided after the fee is charged.
Users responded strongly. Except for a very small number of lords who expressed understanding and support, the vast majority of lords were skeptical of the charges. Yesterday, 5D6D officials issued another announcement after being criticized by millions of webmasters, saying that they were only providing solutions and filing solutions in view of national policy requirements, and that there were no problems with forums using second-level domain names.
Is this a concession or a change in the situation without changing the medicine?
Although the charge was for better stability and development of the territory, it did violate its original promise. For most lords, it is still a bit difficult to accept.
But if you think about it from another perspective, the fees still make sense. Since the development of 5D6D, the server pressure caused by free binding is not small, and it may be unbearable. Coupled with the recent anti-pornography incident, the rectification has been quite severe. Due to violations of certain forums (failure to register and other reasons), several servers have been suspended, causing considerable losses. For better development in the future, it is beneficial to both parties to strengthen management through fees.
Regardless, the charges have already begun. Let’s wait and see how it will develop.
