This is a really good idea. Hopefully it will make the boards more active

If we manage to get at least 20 posts per day ( regularly ) in this forum then the forum would be UK's most active forum as none other forums in UK have managed to get posts on daily basis.

We wish to run this forum as a open discussion forum for all as all other forums in UK are managed by some or the other company who dont allow anyone to write against them or in favour of others in their forums.

True. I think hardware reviews should also be done. I can do this on behalf of web hosting uk if you wish.

I think you'll find that there are a whole bunch of forums based in the uk (maybe the server is in the US) that get a whole heap more than 20 quality posts a day.
However I think it's admirable that you are doing something about it, that will also benfit the users of your services.

Thanks in advance and here's hoping I get to 50 posts

Yet more ways for me to avoid updating my CV

This is a great idea - it's the first time I've come across the forums and I doubt I would have discovered them otherwise. And who doesn't like the idea of free stuff?!!

We will have 6 moderators for the forum by the end of this month. 3 Moderators will be from our staff and 3 will be chosen from the existing customers who will be actively involved in monitoring and growth of the forum.

Moderation job is lil time consuming job but it does help to establish relations with other members of forum and one can never guess what business may come to your part by developing relations with people from various industries.

aye it's a really good idea. It's funny as i've been using this webhosting service for years now. Even when it was owned by someone else, and because of the service i've stayed where i am.

hopefully this should populate the board.

We should have started this forum long time back but its better late than never.

Only 2-3% customers have joined this forum so far and we expect at least 25% of our customers to join this forum to make this forum a good place for discussion.

Ohh thats really Sad.

Its always so good to have a community especially on a host. This way there is a lot of exchange of ideas, ppl can get new staff members for their sites, they can learn things they didnt know about from others and other so many things.

I really thing this plance shoud be big.

Especially with old n veteran customers active on the forum, new comers who visit the forum can feel relieved seeing their posts or probably testimonials given by them

I hope i m not wrong :p

When the forum gets going it will be good. lots of things to talk about and lots of time to read

Me reaches 30, but I don't think I've got "quality posts" yet...and I hate to admit a couple are in the Community forums. Exciting times though. I need a new website for my new band. Of course when we hit the big time, whoever is our host will get millions of hits (at no charge of course).

**Administrator** · #13 (**permalink**) 20-07-06, 08:52 PM

Well...

I had to delete some of your posts as those were bad.

I hope you put some efforts in adding some good posts as you wont feel any happiness after winning with less efforts.

Ummmmm.....
