I have just earned over 2 credits for just 1 post. With these 2 credits it means now that I am hosted I don't have to post for 2 days if I don't want to. Now you're probably thinking that I wrote a huge post that took ages to write, wrong! The post was only 222 words, (this includes words like "I", "the", "is", "of" and the like), only 18 lines and 5 small paragraphs. The post was in fact smaller in size than this one. I would probably earn another 2 hosting credits for this post too, except that posting in this particular forum does not earn credits.
As suggested on the main forum page, it is best to keep your hosting credits above 10 in case for some reason you can't post for a few days. If you know you won't be able to post for a lengthy time, say you're going on vacation, build you credits up to cover you while you're away. That way your account won't be suspended while you're not able to post. Honestly, for level of services offered for free here, it's really not very hard to make at least 1 decent post every 2 days to keep it going.
Once you become involved in the community, you'll be earning so many hosting credits that you'll wonder what all the fuss is about.
What my suggestion is for the one-liners is that...it's not about having more posts..it is about having posts which have good amount of usefull content. there are members who have almost equal no. of posts as I am having....they have been posting regularly as well but still their hosting credits are very very less...as explained by them only...so keep in mind...good quality posts having quality content will fetch you good credits.
Umm... Looking at the no. of other members, I think its around 5xxx more members to go..
i think that the credit system is a very nice system. It's better than i have seen on some other websites.
Some people need to know, credit are MUCH better than having to pay money. Posting/getting credits is a way of showing appreciation for the hosting, which the whiners need to do.
This ad will be optional and everyone that wants to increase their hosting credits would put the ad code on their site.
What do you think about this? I think it's a good idea and this way you'll earn your money too for the free hosting that you are offering.
Best regards from here.

Well I think this post is helpful for not only members but where it is placed is also nice because it is placed in the guests section and this way the guests will be able to make a decision about wheather to join or not...now the question of not joining will become less after they'll read this post and will understand that being active in forums is not difficult and earning credits is much easier....I think this was the intention of Avalon..am i right?QUOTE (nelimitat)
Why don't you offer us more method to earn this hosting credits. I saw on another free hosting site that they offered a google ad that you can put everywhere on one or all of your website pages and that way earn a lot of credits. I earned about 90 credits in only one week so it's really useful. This ad will be optional and everyone that wants to increase their hosting credits would put the ad code on their site.More importantly, if people are able to replace the need to post with placing an ad on their site, the participation in the forums will decline dramatically. From what I understand, not only does OpaQue want to provide ad free hosting, he also wants to build a strong forum community, even if he rarely has the time to participate himself.

From what I understand, not only does OpaQue want to provide ad free hosting, he also wants to build a strong forum community, even if he rarely has the time to participate himself.The more active/strong the forum community is, the faster it will grow (attractive/active topics). This in turn will bring more visitors to the forums, and increase forum ad views. I'm guessing, that unless your site has a lot of visitors (and doesn't quickly suck up your bandwidth) that ads on personal Trap17 sites would generate very little revenue, and it is desirable to have a focus on forum activity.
Even so I can post enough to keep my site running.

Yes, its not hard to earn points here, although writing a longer text is not an easy task for foreign language speakers (like me).Even so I can post enough to keep my site running.
PS: What do you think about my English level?
From this post I doubt anyone could tell that English is not your first language. Yes, I'm sure it's more difficult for users where English is not their native language. But as you have pointed out, it's still possible to post enough to keep your site going. Hopefully reading and posting here will improve your knowledge of English and it will become easier.

Although it is easy to understand the credit system, it’s fairly hard to get a single post for a new beginner in the area.
But if you work 8 hours a day (and often more) far away from your home and you run a website that you need to update regularly and his own forum that you need to check daily, you could find not so easy to maintain a high level of credits. And if your computer crash suddenly and you have hardly time to carry it anywhere to have it repaired, you´ll find it very difficult indeed. And if english is not your native language you´ll find it even more difficult. To be honest it´s very difficult for a "non-english-speaker" to be above 20 or 30 credits.I´m not critizising, if I´m here is because I think Trap17´s offer is the best that I know in free webhosting. But that doesn´t mean that being active at the forums is easy.
QUOTE (Hiaito)
But I have a question. The note on the forum's homepage says size counts. You can't possibly get 2 credits from a 4 liner. Can you?No, I don't think you could. Would you honestly consider a 4 line post as a post that has quality content? You might post something very profound in those 4 lines, but by itself it probably wouldn't mean a lot, usually it needs to be further explained with more text. By this I mean expand on your idea so others can better understand what it is you are trying to say.
This is a system where size and quality of posts matter. The system also varies for different members. Say if a new member and premium member made the same post...the new member would gain more credits than the premium member. So, in sort of answering the question, newer members get credits faster than those who have been here and have posted for a while now.
Size counts, but quality is of importance. We don't want spam topics or replies, we want a clean forum with elaborated thoughts and ideas. In doing this, earning credits will never be an issue, one good post per day should keep you covered for around two.
For those who don't speak or use English as there primary language, all that can be said is to do your best..everyone makes mistakes, and we can accept that here. However, correct grammar is also valuable, so if necessary, you must take time to make your posts properly, honestly, what's a couple extra minutes or seconds out of your life?
And I have to say that I´m studying now 4th grade in the Official Language School so I have a decent level. I would appreciate anyway a pair of subforums where people could talk in other languages (maybe spanish and french, or whatever).

I totally again with Avalon, I don't see how people think it's hard.that's right!
Byes

Maybe it will be easier if there is a debate forum where people could debate over things.We have dedicated debates section.
The Real Life > Life Talk > Debates
And your posts are counted there, so are credits.
QUOTE (Ryo)
This post seems like a post just to get credits is everyone elce is doing it i guess i will too.Well actually no, posting replies to this post will NOT earn you credits as this a "No Post Count" topic as mentioned in my original post. People are not posting here just to earn credits, they are posting because they have something to say. To post here for any other reason is fruitless.
A moderator will have to answer your questions, I don't know the answers.

Honestly, the only people who find gaining Hosting Credits hard are the people who can't be bothered to do it! And in the end those people deserve to lose hosting.
cool

Not necessarily. People might have time at the time they start, but situations and circumstances change and they might find it increasingly hard to post for one reason or another. Laziness shouldn't always be the first assumption.
When you join you should become fully aware of what is expected of you. If you can't meet the expectations, then don't expect to receive services. It's quite simple. If you can't post in the forums then don't bother asking for a free website. I don't care what circumstances a member might be facing, if you can't meet the requirements, then pity you, but don't complain about it...live with it...
). This is a pretty nice system you have going here, it keeps the member's who want hosting to keep coming back and posting more to keep this forum nice and active.
