Advertisements On Trap17 - I think there should be more ads

We are earning from ads by showing them to the guests who shower in mainly from search engines. :-) Compared to that, showing it to regular members during posting and activity gets too much

@simpleton,Not exactly. Ads on forums and ads on web hosting are two different things. People who come to trap17 and astahost know that they'll get free hosting without ads. So if the ads are on the forum page i don't think they'll have any problem with that. And when it comes to any free service, people adjust on so many grounds. Then why not adjust service providers way of earning money ? If they feel scared with so many ads then i consider them as newbies which hardly come to any good hosts as they just keep on jumping from one host to another because of fear of ads on hosting pages. So it is upto newbies and visitors to know what they'll get from this place. This forum has so many visitors and earning from visitors via ads is the only method of earning. So i don't mind if anyone is using this method to earn money.

I too don't like the idea of too many ads messing up the site. Ads are only displayed to the guests and members with less than 100 posts, right? Those are the people whom we need to convert into long-term members. If we scare them off with to many ads on the site then it's our loss ultimately and it will effect everyone indirectly. So I think the present number of ads are more than enough for good ol' trap

I think there should be more ads on this site. it means they can make more money so they can spend more money on the site to make it even better than it already is. i personally don't mind ads on websites they don't affect me and as i send above they give to company more money to spend on the website.

This is a NO NO!. They already have enough money they get from Xisto etc. I do not mind a few adds, Its just when its over done Loads of images and the very annoying flash adds. I also use ABP which is an addon for firefox where you can block them gay and annoying adds. But adds on this forum will reduce the size, Make it even more slow! and piss more members off...

The best solution for this website is choosed.If you aren't logged in,few ads are showen.When you will log in,no ads are there.Maybe one more ad will be good but please no alerts,and popups.I think if there are lots of ads,with small body that will make the website very cheap.Yes,two or three ads and few text links is normal but more...

I do mind, I wouldn't like to see ads everywhere I look, or pop-ups, I don't think that ads makes a site more lively but cheap, like it desperately needs money. It's ok to have ads but in moderation nothing excesive maybe one or two small ads.. just my opinion

2. The Trap17 All-purpose Help Desk - Just an Idea... (5)

   I love what Trap17 is doing here. I love being apat of communities like this, and here you got
   hosting for it! What more could you ask for! Well ive got an idea: The all purpose help desk. We
   have so many users here, all of us together probably have knoweledge about pretty much every thing.
   So why not open a "Help Desk"? At the "Help Desk" Users could submit a question about any thing
   (Probably via email) then us here could sort of "Claim" the message if we know the answer. All the
   question could be posted in a forum here, then once a user "Claims it" the topic that i...

3. An Idea Of Trap17 Web Application - (7)

   Lately, I was thinking of creating php script for my personal use . The script --> Using
   xmlhttprequest for dynamic update and cURL for processing the remote page, I would get some specific
   data from the forums index page, like the online users on trap, dynamically. And more stuff like the
   latest article (dynamically), top forum credit holders (@SM-> /tongue.gif"
   style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> ) and may be even log the

7. Trap17 Home Page Banner Mistake - (3)

   I just now noticed that the flash banner at the top of trap17's home page has an error. It says
   "THE BEST YOU CAN FIND ON WEB". Obviously it should read "on THE web" since "the web" is the phrase
   always used to refer to the internet, and not just web. This is about as major and noticeable a
   mistake as the site could make, so I think this especially needs to get fixed....

   I noticed there was a typo in the Rules because of them being quoted in this topic:
   http://www.trap17.com/forums/big-problem-p...pic-t54676.html Anyway, I noticed some other typos,
   so I decided to do a thorough edit/commentary on the rules . I decided the easiest way to show
   the location of errors as well as their locations would be to just quote the entire rules text. I
   have highlighted major problems in red and minor problems in orange so that only the most clear-cut
   problems can be easily distinguished. Since I did a full edit of the rules, some of the less-...

10. Trap17 Should Offer Free Domain Name - Why not starting free domain service? (22)

    Now days, free hosting can be seen on all places. But free domains are given only by a few sites or
    with big hosting plans. Also "Free Domain" catches a popular search keyword. You can provide free
    domains for 80 or 120 credits. Iam sure that this will increase trap17 popularity as well as its
    community. Please post replay about my sugession because i like to take a domain....

11. Why Not Have A Pet Section? - I'm sure there are plenty of animal lovers in Trap17 (12)

    Well why CAN'T we have a pet section such as for fish, birds, dogs, cats, etc? I mean I'm
    sure there are many pet lovers out there (me being one) who would want a section like this. Some of
    you might know this site: fishforums.net. It's a very active and popular fish/aquatics site for
    info and many things. Why can't we have it here? In this fish section could also be an aquatic
    plant section too. One of the popular aquarium plant website is aquaticplantcentral.com. This too
    is a very active site for plant and fish lovers but mainly focused on plant...

12. Trap17 Radio And Suggested List - (2)

    Trap17 Radio My suggestion today is maybe a Trap17 radio. Not like a radio
    where someone talks, just like there are multiple DJ's and they play music. Then there could be
    a request box where members can put requests for the DJ's to play. We could embed a realplayer
    into the page so you know what song is playing, etc. If the DJ is not taking requests, they can put
    a message above the request box saying "The DJ is currently NOT taking requests." The DJ must supply
    their own music, equipment, and have a high speed internet connection with fire...

    increase bandwidth and space and add some extra features to account. i know you provide a .com

    existing subdomain for 100 or more credits.add some extra features for 50-100 credits. Also There

14. Set Up A Hosting Service With Asp Based On Trap17 Protocols - (7)

    Well after receiving a free book for ASP.net 2.0 and of course looking around for some decent ASP
    hosting (so far found 350MB site), I was thinking that why don't you set up a windows server
    hosting based on the trap17 protocols and so those that are interested in ASP programming they can
    get the same great hosting from xisto. Yeah you can pretty much guess I need some ASP hosting to
    try this book out (this group wants me to review it) and too cheap to pay for hosting /tongue.gif"

16. Trap17 Forum Should Be Simple Machine And Remove Those Ads - (11)

    I think Trap17 's forum should be changed to Simple Machines instead of Invision Power Board ,
    Simple Machines is easier to use , simple and quick as well as the quality is better than Invision
    Power Board too but that is just what I think. And more , Trap17 should remove those annoying
    Advertisements on the forum , why Trap17 provided Free Web Host without Ads and Trap17 's Forum
    don't ? Note that those are just what I think so if you don't agree , please not mad

17. Suggestions For Trap17 Account Management Center - (6)

    I know that my suggestions are purely unnecessary, they may improve the image of the Hosting account
    Center (all of the pages under http://www.trap17.com/process) . I thought that a few changes could
    be made to the design and function of those pages: -Provide a login common to all pages - instead of
    typing your username and password at each task page, have users log in upon the access of
    http://www.trap17.com/process/ , and present a task list. -Beautify the pages a wee bit - add a bit
    of layout, and add some design elements - even just a banner similar to the one at t...

20. Trap17 Detailed Documentation - A printable/pdf format user guide (3)

    It would be very much helpful if we can make a detailed documentation/user guide for Trap17. That
    should include: 1-Logging in, posting, getting approval for hosting. 2-Setting up account 3-How to
    use the cpanel etc. In my opinion, that should be an all-in-one document which can give answer to
    all of our queries. And that would contain screen-shots wherever possible.(I have phpbb used guide
    in my mind while writing this). I believe everybody will be interested to keep a copy printed for

21. Donations To Trap17 - For members who want to say thank you (3)

    (I dont know if anyone else had an idea like this... if it did please excuse me) I have read
    Trap17's Story in the General Section and since I'm a member for over an year and a half and
    I'm very pleased with Trap17 I want to donate a small amount of money (what I can spare). As a
    gift not as any fee or something... It is a way to express my gratitude to Trap17 and it's
    admin. Trap17 has over 19.000 members now and if only 10% of them would donate 10 cents it would
    still be over 190$. It would be great if the admin could open some donation accounts at dif...

23. Trap17 Template - www.trap17.com/ (8)

    Trap17 Home I think that the main template for Trap17 hosting it too clutterd and could be
    better to reflect the hosting that we have to offer. When I first came here this is what I was
    looking for: FREE WEBHOSTING! Forums or a community chat the plans and free packages no
    advertisments Basic stuff that everybody wants here, when I look at the main page now it seems
    that you guys are promoting Computing Host in advertisments, more then the service that we offer

    I have some good Ideas. I think we should have a button on the top of the forums that brings you
    back to the forum index. Also, I think we should have a topsites list for trap17. There are many
    good free ones out there, and I think it would be amazing. Think of how we would think of other
    members? Joining would be optional. It would iclude the top 10 and baners for them in a nice little
    table, and the rest can upload or provide an icon to the left if they are in the top 50, and the
    rest are shown on a seperate page. What do you guys think of these ideas?...
