suggestions

[Stanky]

If you really want to grow, I suggest some things.

1) Host IPB forums. You should also have pre-installed modifications on them, that'd bring tons of attention!

2) More rewards for our Points. Know how one of your competitors got their Exchange so popular? They let people cash in Points for real money. Though, they put the minimum cash-out rate high enough so that you couldn't ever get it by posting (30,000 posts), forcing people to use the Exchange, thereby getting the host popular.
Want to grow INSANELY fast? Start a promo giving away free domain names, maybe do this for the first month or two. Make users want to gain lots of points to get their domains so the exchange becomes really popular. That would make that compitor jealous! :D

You also need to start putting a few ads on the hosted forums if you don't already. Why? Because you can offer no-ad hosting for a certain amount of Points, like that competitor :) . Each point is an ad-free page view for your guests.


You likey? All of these would make your host grow very, Very fast. Right now, I wouldn't be suprised if not many people are attracted ;p

Easyforumz is adless for a reason, it is meant to adless for the users peace of mind, since other hosts force ads upon you if you do not pay for ad removal, I know there could be a system where you use 'points' to remove ads, but it is not very practical at this stage.

Hosting IPB forums is a good idea and the admin has thought of doing this, but wait and see for another exclusive 'really special hosting used by many people ;)

[Stanky]

Oh, you're going to offer another type of hosting? Will it be free?

[SawanM]

Yes, we will offer another type of hosting and it will be unique check the annoucement in the annoucement forum for more details :)

[Stanky]

Yeah exactly, if you stick around and we hope that you do, then you will be one of the first testers of this unique service.

Try to guess!

[Stanky]

Well, it's NOT vB I'm guessing LOL. Though that would attract lots of people hahahahaha!
Hmm..
My guess is SMF, that right?
PS: I'm gunna stick around ;)

[SawanM]

SMF, nope, I just deducted one of your ideas out, also I said it was unique, not the norm of other hosters.

Also, good to see you sticking around :)

[Matt]

Out of intrest - you would like google ads on hosted forums? :eek:

[Stanky]

i dont know of any other forum types besides vB.. or is it not a forum type?
is it Image / Video hosting?

[Stanky]

Out of intrest - you would like google ads on hosted forums? :eek:
No I wouldn't ;) I didn't know you guys offered ad-free hosting for free. I thought you had Ads. If you have ads I was just saying you should make ad-free forums cost Points.

[SawanM]

Keep guessing but it is so common with many people who use it for themselves and other people.

But I know you will be shocked with the hosting we will be providing, it is going to be great :)

[Stanky]

50 points to you if you just tell me! Lol
or answer this: is it a type of forum that you'll be hosting?

[SawanM]

Nope it isn't as I said it is unique!

Hardly anyone would offer this simply because of costs!

[Stanky]

so it costs money for you guys, but it's gunna be free to us, and it's not vB?
Domain names?

[SawanM]

Everything costs money to provide free stuff for users :)
It's not vB, as that costs 160$.
and if you were here earlier, there were many competitions giving free hosting with a domain name.

[Stanky]

Nope I wasn't here :(
So it's not domains.. ***** wtf is it lol..

[SawanM]

Just wait and see, it will be awesome :)

There is still some chance to make money check out the annoucement section again,

[Stanky]

Oh if it has anything to do with making money I can't do much as I'm not 18.

[SawanM]

if you have Paypal you can recieve the money, all you need if your parents permission and they can make one for you, if your parents use eBay, they are most likely using Paypal

[Stanky]

Yes my dad uses paypal, but I don't know if he'd give permission :(
So the new service is just about making money? What about having the ability to recieve not only money cash-ins, but eBooks, domains, and maybe even templates or something

[SawanM]

No not at all, this is an on going opportunity to make some money with your forum, simple :)

[Stanky]

oh, but that's not what the new feature is going to be?

[SawanM]

Nope, the new feature will be free.

[Stanky]

I know it will be free but I mean the new feature isn't earning money is it?

[SawanM]

No it is not

Read this and contact Agent Smith if the offer is still open (http://forums.easyforumz.com/showthread.php?t=46)

[Stanky]

Ok no thanks I don't need that :)
Can't wait till the new feature, whatever it is ><

[SawanM]

lol, it is worth the waiting

[Stanky]

its not image hosting for your forums, so you can like upload avatars, smilies,etc.?

[SawanM]

You can already do that so no.

[Stanky]

Uhm.. when are you guys gunna announce whatever it is? I'm anxious :)

[SawanM]

I would ask Agent Smith for a vague date.

[Stanky]

Okay when he sees this thread, he'll hopefully answer :)

[Matt]

I would rather not post a date. But soon.

[Stanky]

Okay, can't wait.

[SawanM]

and by Agent Smith 'soon' meaning is actually very soon lol

[Stanky]

ok very very cool, i seriously cant wait now :eek:

[SawanM]

That's what he is normally like :)

[Da Gamer]

Matt is playing this very well, he's definitely building up suspension. If he posted a date you would not wonder as much and there would be much less posts here in this thread.

[SawanM]

It was all of the means of suspense

[Da Gamer]

I agree sawan it is definitely worth the wait.

[Stanky]

yay it's been announced! Hope it gets in soon ahah!
It's SMF forums like I said 5+ times :P

[SawanM]

meh, i never knew that :o

[Matt]

It was meant to be fully functional yesterday... I can't do anything, it's out of my hands :mad:

[SawanM]

What happened?
