I think an email would not be the best solution. Because for me, when a certain websites email me, I would simply dump them off as a junk mail. I am not sure whether many people would bother about reading such mail sent by trap17. Though a pop up might be a little irritating, I am sure this is the way to go as it notifies the person no matter what. The users may not read their email very often and it is through this CPanel control where they are spending the most time in because of the sites they are running on it especially if it is a forum of some sort whereby daily supervision is needed.

Mass emailing members of the forum every few weeks, giving them there credit count, would be bad. We have enough problems with members mass mailing with trap17 and then our MySQL will go down..So..bad idea.

I kinda like the idea of credits in your cpanel, but trap17 gets ad impressions for visits, which will help pay for the site. So maybe i'd just be better to keep it how it is.

i like the idea posted a few posts back of the warning message when you forget so it wont die on you

i have been below 0 credits a few times because i forgot all about it and i thought i had more credits so yeah... maybe have it warn us when it gets down to a few credits left so we can come and post.

Now that i have free time tho ill be posting more often so meh what ever merging 2 databases is a pain i know... lol

I think Email is not good idea
because emails goes at bulk and members miss that email
Dear KuBi why mysql goes down when members spamming ?
whats in spaming and mysql ?

MySql goes down when people send mass spam e-mails because it easts up allot of the MySql's umm how to put it... it uses up allot of its power to run... lol anyways, when people send mass spam e-mails it basicly slows MySql down so much, it shuts it down.

the MySql databases are used in the sending and recieveing and saving of mail messanges, so if someone sends out 1,000 spam e-mails, the server has to work extra hard eating itself up trying to send out those e-mails
