Dear Members,

I am pleased to announce that due to tremendous success with ComputingHost.com, We are now pleased to offer our members the new AD-FREE Forums for our Members. Registered members will no longer have to tolerate the annoying ads.

However, We also request our members to promote our Paid Web Hosting Service (www.ComputingHost.com).

Please give us your feedback about our decision.

Well, the ads weren't that bad, especially the ones with the Fart button.. lol

But seriously, its a good move, as the page load times have improved significantly. Personally, I wouldn't mind if the ads were back up and running, if that ensures the continued consistency and excellence that Astahost is offering.

As for promoting Computing Host is concerned, I'll definitely do my bit. Are there any particular methods of doing that, by the way? I won't mind having a banner for Computing Host on my site.

Regards,

Max.

Thanks, Opaque, I love this new look-and-feel, and having no ads on the forum is really great! Thanks a lot !

As turbo already said, I wouldn't mind having ads if that is necessary for maintaining the current quality of Astahost hosting service. But is sure is much better this way Good work, OpaQue

I never minded the ads, however, I really hated that stupid popup whenever I load the front page, it really annoyed me.

Have you spent all the Canadian Tire Money yet? I need some stuff from there if you have extra...

And the Trap17 Forums are Ad-free as well now... that's great for the dial-up folks. Nice work Opaque. Thanks.

Well i never mind the ads and never bother me because i think that it is a true way to support the site, only to say THANKS FOR THE CHANGE and the new forum interface is really cool.

Best regards,

Well Done Opaque-Its good to know that Computinghost is doing well ))
Ive been watching the update program on Trap and on here and I must say i REALLY like the new forum design and the fact that its now ad free..well thats the icing on the cake!!

3 Cheers for all things Xisto related!!!

Hey Opaque! Great to hear that ComputingHost is doing good. I recommended it anytime some one asked my recomendation for webhost. I would tell them - "Look, I got a Free Host, and their service is great. At the very least, even their paid service would be as good."

(Ofcourse, that would lead me to explain them, when to go for a Free Host option and when to go for Paid Host - that is when they do not have time/energy to spend on the forum).

I think I will be shifting to Computing Host soon. I still have about 3 months worth credit stacked up here at AstaHost. So, if all goes according to plans (you never know ), I will be hosting my sites over at Computing Host servers.

Anyway, I am glad too that the ads are off. Some ads seemed not to be office friendly, that too lately. I avoided visiting the forums when I was at office and only visited it when I was at home. Now, it is great, clean and sleek - that too, after the forum upgrade.

Again, I would not mind if you had to put ads back on the forum. I could live with that.

The only ads that I didn’t like were the ones that expanded to half the screen when you moused over them. I never really paid that much attention to them but I think one of the worst offenders was Circuit City. Besides that one I have learned to mentally block ads and not pay attention to them.
