Few suggestions from SH members.
Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2006 6:00 pm
I have been thinking about the PRUNE suggestions that have been posted. I need atleast 20 people to give a statement of what they believe is the reason they decided to join Smokyhosts and continue with thier hosting.
PRUNE Member - Getting rid of the access member accounts who no longer participate in Hosting or Posting.
PRUNE Posts - Getting rid of the clutter on the forums from almost 2 years of posting.
The main reason both SHAdmin and I dislike these suggestions is the simple fact that the Members and Posts gives Smokyhosts a reputation. Although the reputation is held within the members who have stayed with Smokyhosts though thier hosting.
It's time to put your input in so that we are able to better understand why people choose Smokyhosts for thier hosting.
Me - I was using Geocities.com for my hosting then went to Geocities.co.uk because they allow PHP Uploads to thier hosting packages. I liked the simplicity of Geocities but the only reason I chose it was because I didn't know there was Free Hosting companies.
I decided to go on a search because I couldn't get my own forums without adverts on my site so it was time for a change. I searched for atleast 4 days finding people who host for free but place adverts on the sites, and you had very limited customizable options. I continued my search and on Freewebs.com's Forums I found a post for Smokyhosts. I thought it wasn't going to do very well but I decided to give it a shot. I found the Admin was a real friendly person and me and a group of 10 filled these forums up with all kinds of fun entertaining forum games so we could have fun and get our points up. I posted almost 150 or so posts and decided to build my site. I had enough points to last me a long while so I didn't need to post anymore. I continued to post here and there and kept communicating with SHAdmin for various reasons. The more problems I had the more he helped me out, I couldn't lose at this host. I joined for the mere Hosting for my Clan Site and found a friend.
About 7 months after I joined me and SHAdmin had a great friendship and I would give random thoughts that would enhance the site, basically the ideas came from Php Nuke Platinum's enhanced forums. But they would work in Smokyhosts because there are alot more people. He quickly found I had my way with words and could convince him of almost anything lol. But I continued to help with idea's and anything I can do, which led me to becoming the First Moderator on Smokyhosts. What an honor it was to be a Mod :P.
3 Months after I got Mod I lost my internet for a while, and picked up a different routine which I neglected my hosting for almost 3 months. Once I came back I found my Mod position was gone and there were Assistant Admins. So I asked if I could get back into the Moderation and he allowed me to be mod. At first it was a couple few sections but I was modding and doing a great job. No one broke the rules in my sections for the pure respect of my Mod Title.
About 4 months ago I decided I was going to give up on website creation and try something else, my life had hit a brickwall at 120 M.P.H. and wasn't moving anywhere. I kept talking on the forums and such but my hosting wasn't being used. I found the forums helped relax me somewhat and it was nice being respected by all sorts of people. I have my moments where I lash out but it's only to people who break rules or have offended someone else. Never lost my Mod position so I suppose it wasn't too bad.
Smokyhosts has helped me with some of the greatest friends I think I could ever find. I found I was respected by many people recently when I was going to leave the site, ended up flaring at someone and he told me people left because of me. Sorry dude for flaring but you suggested something that I was agaisnt. But I have gained alot from a simple host I found just to host my Php Nuke Platnium so that's why I am still here.
The 55th member to join, first to break 500 Mark other than SHAdmin, first to become Moderator, first to get mod rights to almost all forums lol.
I basically want to know why you are here, what lured you into the site and what keeps your hosting with Smokyhosts? Was it the total ammount of people? The total ammounts of posts? What was it? :P.
Not everyone can write such a sappy story lol, but you can still give your opinion on the PRUNE Suggestions made by other members. I am just Middleman getting opinions lol. This is where you shine.
Should the old posts be deleted? Should the non-active members be deleted? Is it about time to see exactly where Smokyhosts stands in ammount of people posting/hosting? The choice is up to you.
The poll will only run for 10 days, so make sure you get your word in and your vote in. Thank you for your comments and votes.
Remember these are not my ideas, I am just middleman. Those who suggested this know who they are. I am not stealing your ideas lol.
