I know that what will i type now may be strange, even me i feel strange to say that while i could get my account suspended by that, but i feel that we should protect our lovely free hosting provider ASTAHOST, that what makes me type this.
i was travelling for a while "as always  " and when i got back, as useual, i found my hosting credits in negative  ofcourse didn't feel strange, i used to that, anyway, i went to my site, i found it working and that's strange, i'm not even -1.xx or something like that, it's more than 8 points negative, i think there is a bug in the hosting credits system or something wrong which made it like that, i think most of people may use that not to post here and at the same time have thier accounts working already.we need an admin to fix that please, we need astahost to go on. Viva la ASTAHOST My domain name is www.karlokazo.net, it's not spamming or advertising, it nearly has nothing already just to let admin know it for more easier work.this is a copy for my credits before this post if it's still counting: QUOTE HOSTING CREDITS : (-)8.32 (Negative) Your Hosting Credits have Expired. You will need atleast 4 credits to UN-SUSPENDED your hosting Account. Account is UN-suspended only when a user has more than 3 hosting credits. You get credits by making forum posts. After you make the required posts, your hosting account will be active automatically within a few hours. The Hosting Credits determine the amount of days you can remain inactive. We recommend that you maintain a sufficient amount of hosting credits (more than 10). This will give you enough time, incase you cannot stay active due to any consequences. PS : Hosting credits depend upon the size and content of the post. The number of posts you make, has no effect on hosting credits you earn. Know more.. ATTENTION : All posts are strictly reviewed. Any member accused of spamming may be banned with an immediate termination of web hosting account (if hosted). Also Check out, Hottest Paid Web Hosting Offer at Computing Host ( partner site ) [ 50mb space @ $10 / YEAR! ] PS: Paid Accounts are hosted on separate dedicated servers for unmatched performance and uptime! I'm sure admins will fix it

yeah, maybe there is...most of the rest of the xisto sites are running an IPB Version of 2.1.6 (the latest version even though a .8 is coming out soon) and the last time they upgraded trap17, OpaQue had to completley re-write the credit system, so maybe he hasn't gotten around to changing this one and or it is just a bug in Astahost's credit system, or maybe it hasn't been descovered at trap17 although i doubt it is there because my friends account is at a negative as well and it is not up...

Are you sure it is even supposed to be automatic? Maybe an Admin or other appropriate staff gets notified of someones account when it go's under (imagine lots of accounts, ouch!).
I figured one would have replyed to here by now if they knew what was going on so perhaps not. EDIT: Ooops I see now, the post is pretty new that's why heh heh. |

Something, that came to my attention: When I post something and get credit etc. I will have uneven credit numbers like "8.93" or "10.43", but after a while the part behind the point will change to .62. Doesn't really matter, just strange.
And it feels like I get more credits for less now, but hey, I won't complain about this. But earlier in Astahost, I think it was less. Is that true or do my guts have **** for brains? Ruben |

Lol.. nope Chesso. It's surely some problem with the credits system. Normally your account gets suspended once your credit level travels to the -ve zone and gets deleted once it's below -30. All this happens automatically without Admin intervention. Infact even admin intervention cannot stop it from working this way, unless you can convince an admin to stuff your account with enough credits to let the system get you back up and working again.
So this has to be some problem with the script. |

So this has to be some problem with the script. so, uh, m^e... you want to stuff my account with a few extra credits for "emergency use"?? lol, J/K!! Anyway, that is a strange bug. But I've been in the 3X to 4X credits for the longest time, mostly because I have my company website hosted here on Astahost and I'd look REALLY bad if it ever went down but before that, I'd let my credits slip to negitive and find my site showing the "account suspended" page. It could also be a cPanel bug assuming the credits script interacts with WHM... I don't think Apache has been touched so it has to be either the script or cPanel... who knows. But since I don't work for Xisto Corp. or even an admin of Astahost, I couldn't really tell... but it is just a hint from what I know about the industry.[N]F |

XIII,
Thanks for being so straight forward. I tip my hat to you. Even though you were in danger of being “in trouble” you still done the right thing and let someone know of the bug. This is that makes some parts of the web such a great place to surf. |
