Hmmm..its a good idea, however, i beleive it should be 280, just like the domain, so when the year is up, you have 30 credits to fall back on, actually, more then 280, i say it should be like 20 credits less then a year credits is (345). I mean it makes a little more sense then trap17 getting ripped off of a little less then 100 credits..either way it hink the credit system is fine now that i think more about it. I mean, whats the point of it? It makes trap17 get screwed in the end, as they loose active member, they have to hold your host for a year, even if you just pick your stuff up and leave...doesn't make sense. If you want a year, get 365 credits, and there you go.

QUOTE(technobot @ Aug 25 2007, 01:44 PM)  Credit bank idea tweak. After reading the above it might be interesting to have a credit bank that is mostly used for users going on vocation. So say a user is going away for a while he can activate the vacation bank. So instead of a year it might be interesting to have two or three months with the vacation bank. On another note there might be a credit cost to use the vocation bank so say a month is 30 credits the bank will say be 20 or 30 credits to use and will automatically deduct 30 credits a month to say for two or three months. With the vocation banks still on it will deduct say another 20 credits for a two or three month bank and again take the 30 credits a month for the next three month vacation bank. Also the vocation bank may require a activation post. This might be a workable solution. There is a credits bank system you can use. If you go to the Trap17 Process Page you can add credits to the bank. If you add a few credits there every week or so they will eventually add up. Then when you go on vacation, take them out of the bank and use them. That way you will keep your normal credits separate from your vacation credits. |

I think this would be a good idea for hosted members only. When you're non-hosted, you can't apply for the 250 package.
But then when you're hosted, if you start building up 250 credits, and you have enough, your credits get reset to -29.99 (yes, they actually get reset, so if you have 365 credits already, don't bother with the 250 hosting plan) and then freeze there for one year. You can post to get it back up, but the rate is 3x as slow as it would be normally, since your account doesn't get suspended (it can get "special" status as a "one-year hosting" plan). Then, when the year is up, the credits start going down again. This post has been edited by tricky77puzzle: Mar 4 2008, 02:14 AM |

It's not a BAD idea exactly, but it DOES defeat the point of the system, still, 285 credits is pretty close to 365 anyway, and since 1 credit means 1 day of hosting, just post actively for a little longer and you have a year right there.

I want to save mine up so that I can get 250 credits for a domain name. I already have 140, but I wasn't sure if the bank was only to be used as a bank for awarding credits to other people. EDIT: No, they actually can't be stored and withdrawn. I checked the process page, and the bank is deposit-only. This is to "ensure that there are always credits to award inside the bank".
