WeaponX 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 This definitely sounds good, but who really has 280 credits in their account right now? LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyost 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 m^e probably does, I remember him having almost 1000 a few months ago Anyway, another great offer, I'm really glad to see Xisto/Xisto services expanding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WeaponX 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Holy cow...you're not kidding. m^e has a little over 800 credits right now ;)I guess this is a fair amount (280 credits) for the members over at Xisto. If it works out well, hopefully they will migrate that system over here at Asta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyost 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 I'm not sure if it would be so successful - from mine point of view, it is quite hard to build up 280 credits if each day you lose one, especially since Xisto has a narrower range of topics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got forum500.com, vwone.com, and handyphp.com so I'll have to really think about it. Maybe something non-related.Well, this is a great deal for anyone that wishes to use it. Thanks OpaQue.vujsa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.:Brian:. 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Wow, i must say....this sounds like a great idea!!!I do have a few questions about it however,If this was to go into effect on Xisto, I would assume that there would be more details about it? I mean like answers to some basic questions such as, are we allowed to transfer the domain to another service at some point? Say if after the year is up, and we don't have the number of credits to renew, and we would prefer to have the domain name transferred to somewhere else?I am not sure if I would use this, as I already have a number of domain names, and I don't really think i need any more as of right now...but I definitely will say that this seems like a way to increase the number of posts and general activity in the forums by a ton as I am sure that there are plenty of people who would love to be able to get a free domain name.

BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Currently this free domain offer is in Beta stage at Xisto. Once I have the confirmation from OpaQue, I will let you know if Xisto members can participate as well. Or, perhaps he meant for all gamma hosting members but made the announcement at Xisto first... ;)In any case, I thought Xisto members should know what's going on at the sister's site with this mind blowing new service. And it won't be long until it reaches Xisto.Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeafH 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 it surprisesme, but 250 credits is big!!!now I still can't believe the post is true!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyost 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 @gingica: That's exactly what I thought of today, but it doesn't seem to be so, since BuffaloHELP posted his last message on 2nd April. Or was it 2nd April in his time zone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markymark2 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Lol I was thinking along those lines too Pyost, but then again just maybe its true ;)If It is I must say 250 is a rather large amount for us Asta users, how about we lobby for a decrease to 150! and not tell the Trap users about it;)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 LOL.I didn't even think about April Fools and what it may bring some confusion No it's 100% true. Johnny, over at Xisto, was the first one to receive his 1 year free extension by OpaQue yesterday.OpaQue is working on automated script that can transfer, renew or create new domain using your hosting credits. Once that's established admins will receive instructions on how to approve for this new service by Xisto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delivi 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 this is really a new exciting offer by Opaque. I think that Opaque is also following the method of Google to introduce undelivable services on April Fool's Day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
