Sorry if I sound like a noob, posting this "Hey, I'm new here." topic. But I do this on every forum. So meh.
A bit about myself: I'm a drummer. I like to read. LOVE music. I enjoy making websites. I'm a computer geek. In the way that it's all I ever do. Yeah. So...'sup? |

Hi. Welcome to the Funny Farm. Enjoy your stay, but be wary of Trolls. Don't feed 'em.
Once you become hosted, your points are measured in days. So you'll loose one point per day. Sound easy enough? |

And you can 'stock up' on your credits, so you have a cushion to fall back on in case circumstances do not allow you to be here daily.
Most people carry a 'reserve' of at least ten credits, so they could be gone for 10 days without worrying. Of course, 30 is better.

Yeah, 30 is better... I am stuck on 20, I'm least bothered to get it up
 and your credits go down by 1/day. Really easy to collect points but I just have enough to keep my site running...Speaking of which, when will my site be up? Your credits will go down once your site is up, so no need to worry before you get your site

Hello,
Welcome to site, enjoy your stay and remember to stay active. Best wishes with the site you may wish to create, and dont forget to link to your site in signatures on various sites that you may post on. Just remember, to keep the hosting active you will need to at least be able to stay active on the forums, as credits do go down by one per day, but i'm sure that you are able to stay active by making good clean quality posts, and not of the spam type, which spam type posts are usually frowned upon. Once again, welcome and see ya around on the boards. |
