| Frequently Asked Questions about wistful.net |
- What does the word wistful mean?

lovelorn place in the classifieds.")
- Showing pensive sadness; [syn: pensive] ("The
sensitive and wistful response of a poet to the

- To look up other words, try Dictionary.com.
- I don't see any poems here. Doesn't it make sense that there should be
poems and other things like that here?
- Actually, yes, it does make sense. But I haven't put any up and
I don't feel like doing so. If you have something you want to have
posted here, then feel free to let me know.
- No one has said, "Hey, can you put some of my stuff up or link
to it?" If you have stuff you want linked to, visit the
links page.
- Why did you pick this domain name?
- Honestly, it was the first available one that I liked at the time. That and I seem to view the world wistfully at times. *sigh*
- It seemed like a good idea at the time.
- Can I get some web space here?
- Not at this time. Probably not ever. It is too much work to maintain.
- Can I get an email address here, or mail forwarding?
- For email, you'd be limited to a small amount of space and a web interface. Which is fine for some people, but not all. I try to only use the web interface when I travel.
- Mail forwarding would use up some of the bandwidth and storage for a period of time, neither of which are free (sadly), and I haven't made a single dime from any of the banners (swear to god I haven't, but I keep them just in case I need them myself).
- And in any case, it costs me money to run this, so it wouldn't be a free service. Bummer deal, man.
- Is anything here copyrighted?
