Honestly, the only people who find gaining Hosting Credits hard are the people who can't be bothered to do it!

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.

No, there should be no excuses with the credit system.

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...

I recently got PMs saying that people don't understand the whole idea of the hosting credits system. But what's not to understand? You post a little, you help people out, you get a credit or two. And each credit is an extra day of hosting. Simple.

On my second post on this forum, I think I got about 7 points for a post. I was like "wow" and gaining points here could never be easier (if you type in full complete sentencs, use punctuation for words, and don't use slang, it gets a whole bunch easier ). 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.

This is pretty true but only if you type long arsh posts you'd get a few credits.

i was first put off by the fact you have to post on the forums to gain hosting for your site - but after reading this post and speaking to a few of my friends its not all that bad ...

whats more, the community seems pretty genuine. sure, a few posts are blatently made to try and get credits but it seems as if people arent just posting for the sake of posting.

Er, to help you out there a bit, most boards do not incoporate HTML code into posts. If you wish to post a link, the [link] feature is used.

Yeah but it's always the newbies that probaly just post a load of rubbish to get more credits, I did that once, because it was at -23.xx credits :S thats how I got warned but anyways, I dont do that anymore and also it is quite easy to get credits, all you got to do is stay active and contribute to the community with descent posts rather than crap

I have seen many posts by people saying it is too hard to make enough posts to earn the credits necessary to keep your site running. Not so!

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.

indeed it is very easy to earn credits on here it just a matter of makeing your post very long and detailed yet keep to the point of things
