[+] How Active I should be ?
The Hosting Credits sytem gives you points. Suppose you got 89 points, it means that you can REMAIN INACTIVE (not comming to our forum) for about 89 days! Our Credits system is very generous.

[+] Can I request more, why am i posting, UNLIMITED SPACE AND BW! ?
YEs! You can .. . here to read complete Details About it .. (very important)

[+] Is 150MB space and 5GB BW enough? (Our Default Package)
The following are Trap17.com statistics as on 1st August
Day : 01 Aug 2004
Number of visits : 518
Pages : 13575
Hits : 86950
Bandwidth : 255.47 MB
So Roughly, for 1 GB BW you can serve about 3,47,500 HITS and 54,500 Page Views! If you really get so much, why not plan for Paid Hosting.. Well the Topic does not end here, we give out more as you need upto 3GB! That means you can serve 10,42,500 Monthly HITS! As far as space is concerned, Trap17.com was using hardly 20MB space with about 4500 posts..
Don't get carried away by other companies who claim to give UNLIMITED SPACE AND BW! Just upload a couple of MP3's and they will Delete your accounts right away! Even though We generally do NOT allow hosting of ZIP and MP3 files, You still can. But if you do, Your account will not be upgraded beyond 1GB Bandwidth. So we still allow you to SPAM your Account. Now no other competitor would offer that!

[+] What is the CATCH behind all this?
SIMPLY NOTHING! Your Active participation at the forums is enough to support us. We get paid by the Pay-Per-Impression ads and Donations!
