OpaQue 15 Report post Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) STAYING ACTIVE RULE! Hi members, The main condition on the grounds of which we give hosting is Staying Active. Most of the users ask, what we mean by it ? The answer is a bit difficult. We usually check if a member is active on a WEEKLY basis. If we see that the member is not active, we check the quality of his posts. The quality of the post matter a lot and better the quality, the more are your chances that you will not be deleted. What if I cannot be active for 2-3 weeks or may be months? OPTIONS, IF YOU CANNOT STAY ACTIVE FOR SOME REASON. ONE : Most of our competitors delete the user's accounts who do not stay active, but we give our member's yet another option. If you think that you won't be able to be active or contribute at our forums then you may put our advertising code on your site. Your account will not be deleted if we see our advertising code on your site. The advertising code can be found at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ You must put the code on every page or atleast on pages which have a high traffic. Adcode on the index or homepage is a must. This rule is no longer applicable. AD-Supported Web-hosting is no longer permitted as it was causing too many complications. To sustain your hosting account with Xisto, you've to either make enough posts to cover the credits for the period you'll be absent, or simply switch to option TWO. - m^e (19th February, 2006) TWO: You may switch to paid hosting. We have the most cheapest hosting options on the internet. For more prices and details, visit http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ THREE: Ask someone else to use your userid and stay active at the forums. :-) !!!! NOTE !!!! The above points are applicable, ONLY if you CANNOT stay active at the forums. They are only to help you out. We do not like deleting members accounts like the other hosts do, and hence we are providing these alternatives. Any suggestions or comments are most welcome.

lhunath 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2004 How about vacations / holidays? Shouldn't there be a way of, like at the board, set yourself at away, with a reason, and if that away time doesn't exceed a month or so; it should be permitted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OpaQue 15 Report post Posted October 27, 2004 We had tried that at Xisto, We asked members to PM us. But we had no idea, that we would suddenly recieve more than 30 PMs for such requests! LOL, that is why this decision has been taken. We are not strict with the ads thing, but it is appreciated if it is placed on as many pages as possible, especially the ones which recive high traffic as shown by their statistics data.
