I must be missing something here. Great reviews are coming in from every direction. The only people, who I can find to talk to in Trap 17 are the forum people, though. No one else appears to be home.

After a two-hour wait for some reply from the approval people for hosting a site, I moved around until I found a page that said that I had been disapproved.

There was a “level 1” problem that was not explained. Less than 0 credits didn’t make any sense to me. Then, there was some talk about being terminated or something. It was all Greek to me.

Apparently, all of the Xisto big help people are in India (too far for me to visit them, I’m afraid).

Hopefully, there is some alert administrator, who can explain what’s going on in my life. I don’t have a clue… well, at least about my new life in Trap 17.

Hey! Is that why this site is called Trap 17? Was Catch 22 already taken?

Have I been fired or am I going to jail for something? Could we work out some kind of deal?

My email is britneysbto@aol.com

Looks like you JUST joined us. If you haven't been already welcomed to the community... welcome to the community.

You're going to need to start posting to earn hosting credits. You need 30 credits to begin utilizing the web hosting service here on Trap17, which will be earned by your posts, depending on longevity, quality, and frequency of posting. Or something like that. I believe that you'll be needing at least 60 credits to actually put an application out, just because you'll need hosting credits to keep your hosting alive. Otherwise, the account goes into suspension, in which case you will have to keep posting to maintain the 1 credit/day upkeep.

As for the member level 1 problem that you mentioned, my only guess is that you may need to be a level 1 member, which comes with posting 50 posts or 100... I can't remember. But with that, you're sure to be up there with your web hosting credits, which tells Trap17 that you are indeed here to stay and not just sign up and leave.

(If anyone has more input off the top of their heads, feel free to add or correct me on anything that I may have put out wrongly.)

I cannot get over this!

What more could this hoster provide?

Seriously, for no money we can now spend our free time posting non-spam on the forums and be eligible for a free domain name and hosting.
I have tried x10 Hosting, and they appear to not even stand up to this one.

If you think about it, it's not hard to post quality posts to get credits!

Remember! QUALITY NOT QUANTITY

Thats what my Form 1 teacher used to always say...

Kind Regards,

Hey.. Am i missing something here? Last I saw that the domain was for a year only, now it says that it's for free for life.
Is there a catch here? I mean you have to have 280 credits to apply for the domain for a year and have to get 280 credits the next year to keep the hosting alive or it's just a one time deal. Get to 280 credits the first time and you're free for life?

Either way man this is really awesome. A top level domain is not what can be achieved freely on the internet.
Please clarify.

I think it's a good incentive to get people posting. Just one question: How do you actually pay for all of this stuff? Servers? Domains?

You know, I wish you could like give us a break and maybe make it like 150-200 for one year. That would be GREAT!

oh, i see the rule . we must have 250 Credits every ear . that is necessarily. because the credits would be deducted every year.

Thank you For "Free Domain Name"!

Thirty credits in an hours really isn't that bad. Some people takes a week or even longer to build up that many credits as they don't have as much time or they spend more time putting thought into a post. If you work at that rate you could have a domain name in about 8 hours of work which is really rather nice rather than having to put in credit card information on an actual site. Just look at it this way, 250 is better than 365
