Hi all,

I thought that this thread would be the most appropriate place to post my sign off message for astahost.

I have decided to move my website to another host because of a mutual benefit for both parties, but also partly because of the posting for hosting scheme at astahost (I'll explain in a moment).

For those that were interested in my work, my new website is now at http://punter.pokerplasm.com, where I shall continue to post up my tips.

I intend to try and keep posting at astahost as I have really enjoyed some of the discussions here, as it is a rare thing to have some intelligent conversation for once.

The next bit is to everyone, but specifically to the admins.

Firstly, this is not to say that you are doing a bad job. I think the idea of posting for hosting is innovative and a really good idea for keeping an active forum. Part of the reason that I have decided to stop hosting with astahost is that I have simply not been able to find the time to post, or the topics to post against. I appreciate it is a delicate balancing act in how credits are distributed, but I have found that even though I work a 9-5 office job and a a few spare hours each night, it has turned into a chore to upkeep my credit.

I'm not being critical of the system, as I have no constructive comments on how this might be done differently, but I do hope to provide some constructive feedback on my experience for your future reference.

I don't doubt that my website will soon go inactive, but I hope to still check in on these forums occasionally to see what is happening.

Cheers,
Hoopa
