ThunderBolt, THIS IS A FREE HOSTING SITE. THERE IS NO HARD CASH INVOLVED.

Hosting price
Re: New hosting rules
Well Lixas, i dont think 20smokybucks is any big price. That is just about 40 to 45 posts a month with is less than even 2 posts per day. And making 2 valuable posts per day is not any big deal.Lixas wrote:As i see, SHadmin have changed rules of hosting. Now all members will have ti pay for theyr hosting accounts: 20, 40, 75 Smoky$. I would like to know your opinion, it is good or not....
I think it is good idea, because inactive members accounts will be deleted/suspended and left only for realy active members could enjoy realy good hosting, but i think 20 Smoky$ it is a little to big price for beginner package, it could be 10 or 15, but it is only my opinion
And as you quoted it, this kind of payment is just a method of filtering out the inactive members from the rest of the valuable members. Doing this i can remove the inactive accounts and get some revenue to keep the site alive. After all this hosting is totally free for you guys but i have to still keep the maintanence ON.
There have been no changes in the plans. All the plans are as they were while all of you guys signedup. You can still look at those plans at http://www.smokyhosts.com/compare.htmshanker wrote:when did they change the plan? does that mean the pay by ads account is no more :'(
shanker, the pay by ads account still exists.
There is no idea of changing the plans. Atleast not in the near future. If at all and when they will be changed, everybody will be notified. There wont be anything going on hidden on the site.
phoxchange, the google ad supported hosting is there for you if you dont want to post and just want to put the google ad code. And anyways the current cost is not at all much. It is like hardily less than 2 posts a day for the beginers package and so on.phoxchange wrote:IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE GET PAID MORE BY POSTS OR IF THE COST GETS LOWERED OR WOULD BE COOL IF WAS FREE AND ALL I HAVE TO PUT ON SITE IS A MOVEABLE GOOGLE AD
It's a big target ... but easily achievable without spamming.

Hey SHAdmin I know that your the Admin and can't exactly be blamed for Spamming but as the Boss you should set a good example. Not trying to Jump your case but you have allowed me to Moderate this Section so I thought you should know you could of put all that into 1 simple post. Just my opinion, the best saying for leaders are Lead by Example. :P
But as he was saying, The Beginner Plan has always been 20 Smokybucks, then 45 for the Middle Package, then 75 for the Extreme Package. IF you pay for your site with Google Ads then you don't have to post on the Forums. Your first month for your Site Package is free, you do not pay for your month at the end, you pay in advance. The 20 Smokybucks he took from your account if for the next months worth of service.
If your complaining about lowering the ammount of posts needed, or saying the prices should be lowered your wanting to cheat the system and get things given to you. How many more places actually stay open who offer this service? It's because of those people who can't see a good oppurtunity and just want to be given free things in life.
20 Smokybucks is exactly 50 Posts a month.
45 Smokybucks is 112.5 Posts a month.
75 Smokybucks is 187.4 Posts a month.
If you watch my calculations you will see that the complaining that is going on is stupid.
In a month thier is 30 or 31 Days. To make 20 Smokybucks a month, you need 1.6666666 posts per day. A post don't take but maybe 2 minutes at most.
If you post 5 Posts a day in 10 days you can get enough posts to pay for a month's worth of service. In a month posting 5 posts a day you can get 3 Months of service paid for without spaming. If you posted 5 Posts a day on Average for 4 Months you would pay for up to a years of service in advance. Is it worth complaining over?
7 Posts a day will pay for the highest service that SHAdmin has provided. That's 7 Posts a day without SPAMING. Plus you can post a whole line of things each day without being considered spamming. You can post 100 times in one day and still not be considered spamming. As long as you use intelligent replys or posts. I mean use common sence to reply to something, don't just blast out jibberish. But hey it's quite simple to make these ammounts in a month, if you can't handle it just make your site Ad Stricken, or pay for hosting. It's free hosting so I don't see why anyone is complaining. The Admin can easily change his mind and close the site because people think it's too hard.
If you take the offensive then your the people I am refering too, therefore being offended is part of the reason I posted it. If I made you feel stupid, then I am sorry. This is a very easy task to complete, and I am just being blunt because of the people who want to take something so easier and make it even easier because they are lazy to take 5 minutes to do what can easily be done.

Thanks TheCrymsonLegends to point it out lol......
Also thanks for making that very valuable post. Hope it gives some inspiration to the other members too.
Well just a try to prove myself that what i had done was not spamming coz each topic involved clearing a different persons case with a different kind of topic that he was confused with.

That's why I did'nt say you were spamming but I see your point aswell, it was kinda of easier to read each one better since they wern't jumbled into one. I suppose I am used to other forums where people consider posting twice or more in a row. Thanks for clearifying and.. anytime on the posts. When I see something that needs a blunt responce I am there to pop it out. :P Hope this helps others in the future.
