I like the idea also but 1$ for 5 is kinda like paying for a host so somthing like 1 for 10 would be nice or higher would be better. But it really up to shadmin

It's weird alot of people sometimes wait for me to make my decision before making thiers lol.


I have no clue how it will work, but SHAdmin is probably checkin over this, he does make his own PHPBB Scripts so it's nothing that will be done immediately if he decides to use the Idea. BTW If he uses it, he might not post on here giving you Credit, he forgot the person who made the Slogan lol, but he knows who you are and Proper Credit is Established.

Just because I am Assistant Admin doesn't mean I know what goes on, I live opposite sides of the World from SHAdmin but usually if I'm on board SHAdmin looks into it a bit more. IM ON BOARD :P.

OK, Thank you all for this great idea.

Infact special thanks to 'Flipper3' - for initiating the idea and to get round the forum-inactivity period problem (coz this was my greatest fear of offering donation based hosting packages), 'TheCrymsonLegends' - to frame things in a more encouraging/meaningful manner.

This idea seems to be making more sense now, that people can actually just post to get basic hosting resources, and otherwise pay/donate to get professional hosting resources. Infact since smokyhosts.com doesnt either ways offer any paid shared hosting packages, this will actually have more meaning on smokyhosts.com than anywhere else. I sure will consider this idea now (and hey 'Flipper3' you have a treat from me for this idea--will give/annouce the treat as soon as this is implemented).

Will soon begin working on implementing it. Meanwhile everyone may continue sharing their comments and opinions out here.

Regardless, I belive that your effort of adding it will pay off. There are many impatient people who are willing to pay.

Odds are, I won't pay, though I did start work this morning...

I don't do anything except handle ground work, get idea's, turn people's requests down, stuff like that.

Many suggestions go through this section and alot of them are turned down because they just don't have any substantial reasoning behind this. You have fortunately turned this around and created a great idea with a way to maintain our current packaging. I hope to see Smokyhosts reach it's 1000 Members but unfortunately do not believe all 1000 of them are still around. But it's a great number to reach to. :D.

The cookie, which this one is oreo, is all yours. I ran out of Chips Ohoy!. Sorry, lol.

Once this is up and fully functional we will be happy to recieve donations and hopefully create a place to thank those who Donate properly :D.

Yeah, and how about we do the opposite and use our points for dollars? Like for every 150 Points you have, you get $1...or 200 Points = $1, something like that...lolz, j/k...

And I'll take that last Oreo thank you very much. *Munches on it* *Picks up and Eats the crumbs*. I'll take any more cookies if any of you have some...
