when i am hosted, do u deduct 10 hosting points every month for the package 1 host? this is the first i came accross hosting a forum contributions. thanks!

I think all that you hve to do is stay active on the forum. Just be helpful and your account stays open. It's pretty easy once you get going, you'll have 10 points in no time. Remember, just stay active. And welcome to the site!

yeh i found it pretty easy to talk, in here. so how active do i have to be. will there be a warning first sent to your email to be active?

Your count is reset to 5 days of credit when you receive the hosting. Every post you make in a forum that count's the posts will increase your credits. A good post will increase the credit a lot more than a one liner. When you ask for the upgrade and your status is met, you can upgrade the account and your hosting points will be reset to 5 at that time. then you build up the credits again so you have at least 7-14 days just in case. Or if you know you are going on vacation up the good post and take the time off.

Downpart are when your post are considered spam or copy/paste with no effort on your part... then you may lose some or all of your hosting credits and will have to build them back up again.

If you run out of hosting credits your account may be blocked and your website redirected until your posts and postquality is back up (I don't remember the the exact number of posts / credits)

So every 24 hours your post credit is reduced by one day

Hope this explains it.

I was just wondering, how long does it take for a temporarily suspended site to come back online? And how many credits do you need to get your account reactivated?



(Haha, I think everyone's site should be suspended for a short time, it was a real wakeup call for me haha )


EDIT: Nevermind, I'm back on, and I'll make sure to post more often

For anyone reading this that had the same question, it came back after I posted several good topics and got it back up to 7 days.

Your Web Hosting account should not take more than an hour to come back online once you have collected enough credits to unsuspend your account.

Wow this is deja view from trap17!
And I'm not going to request hosting here. It's just I joined to read the tutorials

And to answer the question, I think you don't have hosting credits deducted each month, but you DO have one hosting credits reduced every day. (at least, this is how trap17 works )

How come OpaQue only has 3 reputation?

Edit: Eww... you can see the warning thing... jk!

With very talented members here, getting reputation is even harder. As said, this site is diffrent from Trap17.

Hmm... it will be quite difficult to reach 50 hosting points for upgrading the account, especially since it costs 1 hosting credit per day to keep the webspace...

Thats not bad... that means you only have to post 1 post a day, and you shoudl be good to go... my concern is who takes care of approving the host request? I dont wanna be a burden, but Im really excited on the webhost... I heard so much cool stuff, I just want to get my hands on it and see what its like....

So on average, just out of curiousity, how long does it usually take to actually get your account approve, coudl anybody help me out?? thanks in advance...
