Even though I am offering so much, ratings at other sites go down because I also have initial packages. I was thinking about just ONE Package with 150 mb space and 1 GB BW! @ 50 posts. And users are supposed to be active. Please post your comments and suggestions.

[Too_Hot]

so wait we post 50 and we can get 150mb and 1gb bandwidth, o u are so awesome man ur too kind , i definitely will like that, great idea man. cant wait to reach 50

[serverph]

admin, i thought you're planning on having 101MB space + 5GB bandwidth
package? how about a 2-3GB (bandwidth instead as a compromise?
posts count will not be a problem for most of us who are really into
trap17.

it's best if we just stick to one package from hereon. too much changes
within a span of days will just confuse members, future and present.
also, sticking to one package with a determined number of GOOD posts
(in this case, 50), will thresh out those "fly-by-night" members who just
come in here for a "free ride" without contributing helpful posts to other
forum members.

i would opt for your earlier plan of having a higher bandwidth allotment for
members, IF possible.

[CodeName_88]

Maybe make a 1st package on 25 posts, second on 50.

[Too_Hot]

thats quite good, meaning less active members will be forced to be active

[Bash]

yea, i think 1gb bandwidth a little too low. there's a lot of people who look for higher bandwidth, so maybe increasing the bandwidth to at least 2gb would be great!

[X3r0X]

keep the hosting packages but make the post counts required alot higher, that will sort out the people that are going to stay and the overnight, posters

[OpaQue]

Then May be 150 MB with 1.5 GB BW. The thing is some people as I have seen don't knw what to upload and webdesigning stuff. I had atleast 10 members who uploaded BMP files each about 400 - 2000 Kb.. So, I think so much is enough.. I will give upgrades to serious people who have a good site. ( which do not post BMP files and downloads )

[X3r0X]

thats a fair enough call. Make it 75-100 posts i think because that obviously means that are going to stay. It may be tough but hey. And yeah, give out more to the more serious web users who's sites are bringing in hits 4 u and <- snipped -> }}}}

[Too_Hot]

yeh i dont mind my site is gonna be for my clan but im commited to trap17 so im gonna be active. i need that much space and stuff for my forum and site and databases. ill probably go for upgrade when i reach that many posts.

[Vacant]

At the moment you can get a 2MB bw package... so no, im not in favour It would mean cutting down on the services you offer.

[football123213]

i think we need 2 cep it the same

It would be so odd wit it diffrent i think

i think we good right now but if it cost 2 mush then we should chang it

But your admin so its your call

[campainer]

I think you should do some thing like:
25 posts == 20mb of space
25 posts == 50mb of BW

so you can choose how much of each you want.
just my 5 cents

I like your idea. admin, you should consider implementing this, although I know it may be confusing to update everthing so often.

I think you should give a bandwidth to space ratio at 30:1 respectively. That's quite reasonable.

However, I like the 4th package, which is 150 MB and 3 GB BW. Its quite good. IF you do plan to have a 5th plan, you could probably consider having 200 MB space and 5 GB bandwidth.

Just my opinion. Anyway, admin still has the final say.

[Florisjuh]

You know what would be cool? If you could put your own package toghether, like you could say how much bandwith and how much space etc... Based on points given by administrators and moderators for good posts, banners, buttons etc! I dont know any host that does that, so it might be a good idea... But it is a lot of work

[odomike]

yea i also think that it should be upgraded to 200MB and 5GB BW for a 5th hosting type

[Too_Hot]

yeh but you'll have to have like 300-400 posts

[OpaQue]

Suppose I give 1 GB space and 5 GB BW to one user who posts 2000 posts and one fine day another new user requests for hosting, do you think I will be able to provide him?
I want to think for all.... the way your thinking is limited to you only. I think the maximum space and BW would be 100 mb and 2 GB BW.
Or may be I will give more space and BW to genuine users who need it if they agree to put my adcode .. or something. It becomes too expensive. once I cross 2 GB BW. Because I don't like overselling! and I don't want to risk user's accounts.

[Florisjuh]

Well, that sure is a problem... cant you just revieuw how much bandwith a site uses and if its beneath a class like 1000 or 2000 you give the hosting that ammount of bandwith?Trap17 is cool but Downgrading aint a very good option unless you have a very good offer...
Is it possible to buy additional Space/Bandwith myself and if yes, how mych would it cost at trap17? I might want to consider paying for an accaunt... If my clan will be a busy clan...

i think that will be real nice admin. Without you saying it, i will put TRAP17 ad code on my site so that more and more people will get to know about trap17 (but admin, you got to understan that too much population isnt too good for trap17)

it aint everyone that has the monet to pay for a paid hosting Florisjuh so you keep that out of the talk.

you are going a lil' bit of point (sorry to say that pls)

[X3r0X]

yeah i would advertise on my site 4 ya

[ICE-XG]

I like the idea of that. Thats sounds great. GJ!
