[wayne 0]

lol, let me think...Hi all, I am Wayne. I am a teacher of Information Technology specialising in Web Design, Web Development, Multimedia and whatever other PC technologies may have been encountered over the past 20 years.I am here primarily to take advantage of what appears to be an excellent arrangement for hosting... I have been involved with forums for many years, PHPBB, vBulletin, SMF and others - in installation, configuration, administration, moderating, and as a member.I hope to both benefit from this membership as well as contribute and help where possible.Cheers all!Wayne.

Greetings Wayne, Thank you for telling us a bit about yourself, I'm sure you'll fit right in here.I only joined recently myself , but as far as i can tell earning my cents seems fairly easy.. it's worth going through all the documentation and rules. But you can also ask questions everyone here is friendly and helpful. So, Welcome to Xisto forums!

Welcome to Xisto wayne.

I have been involved with forums for many years, PHPBB, vBulletin, SMF and others - in installation, configuration, administration, moderating, and as a member.

I am looking forward to reading some of your views on debate topics of forum software. Do tell us your opinion on these topics. Once again welcome to Xisto and don't forget to read about rules and mycents. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here. :-)

So how does this work? I have to post 200 posts, and then I can get the free host?

Hello mangaa, Welcome to Xisto forum

You earn mycent for posting quality posts that contributes to the forum, i earned my first dollar from posting 5 decent posts. (about the same length as this one)
In order to start earning my cents you need to sign up at Xisto - Support.com/billing/ with the same email address
that you used to sign up at Xisto forums. After a couple of hours your accounts will be linked automatically and your mycents earned will appear under your avatar.
The cheapest hosting package works out to about 2 dollars a month.
For every 100 cents you earn , 1 dollar gets credited to your Xisto account.
As far as i understand you cannot lose dollars that have been transfered to your xisto account however you can go into negative mycents here in the Xisto forums by being inactive, spamming or being guilty of plagiarism.

The negative mycents can occur when a Posting gets sent to the Spam Bucket or when a posting gets deleted. The Mycents script deducts the previously earned Mycents. That is the only way your Mycents can go negative.
*wait*

Mycents also get adjusted when a posting is edited by yourself or by a Mod/Admin. An example would be in cases where we add quote or code bbcode tags to sections of your posts in order that the posting meets the Xisto readme guidelines.

Hi Wayne, Welcome to Trap 17!, you seem very knowledgeable in IT thats great!. Do you teach high school, college or universities? You'll fit in well here in trap 17, there are many opportunities to help people with IT problems here on the trap. You should be up and running on a host after about 15 or so posts. Hope you enjoy!

Thankyou...
I teach College - students between 18 and ...well, 80, I guess.

I don't profess to have all answers, but will happily assist if and where possible. I will keep chipping away with posting - with a view to acquiring hosting ASAP.

Again... Thankyou.

Hey Wayne, Welcome to Xisto!!! I see that you already have myCents in your account. That's very good. Now all you have to do is to post in the forums to earn enough to host your website. It is a very very great system here, and the members are all very friendly. I wish you the very best in Xisto!!! Feel free to ask any questions to anyone. I'm sure they'll be glad to help if you have any problems at all...Cheers!

Hey Wayne welcome to the forums, I really like that signature of yours. Lol

"There is only 10 types of people....Those who know binary, and those who don't"

My friend has the a same shirt like yours, except well he has pi, the symbol written out in binary, to what digit who knows. It seems rather interesting. Well I digress, this forum is pretty awesome, you can post on pretty much any topic in the world. Come to the mobility section though, thats where I am, oh and since you do seem to like GFX based on that signature of yours, I would join the graphics section, and apply for the trap 17 graphics crew. I still don't know what we exactly do, since the forum is sorta dead right now. Hoping more people will post there and discuss graphics and print design in general. Are you proficient at linking together forums and other systems together. I was looking for some help in linking wordpress and phpbb3 together. I want my users to register through wordpress and then be able to log in at phpbb3 as well, so they can post topics in wordpress and discuss them more in the forums. However this isn't for my Xisto hosting, so just PM if you have any solutions or reccomendations for that.
