Being in Android is enough of an issue. ;-)
Suggestion: remove the wiki.lowendbox.com Link from the side or fix it
Somehow my signature disappeared
This is the second time this has happened, why does it do that?
Maybe it didn't meet signature guidelines. Please read carefully http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/15263/lowendtalk-rules-and-guidelines
Well the first time I had only text and 2 (I think) ASCII emotes in it. The second time I had 4 links (I think). -> ASCII emotes no gud? ヽ(`Д´)ノ
@4n0nx I think it will have been the four links.
My avatar keeps disappearing. Is the cluster having sex again?
Yeh the second time, but what was the problem the first time?
How about paid account upgrade to allow posting offers more frequently? $100 - $150/month (or more?) to be able to post once every 3-5 days?
I would sign up right now.
^gtfo pls
Yeah, there is WHT for this. Also i don't think that more frequent offers would result in more sales.
Please no.
I would like offers banned from LET entirely.
Might as well shut it down then. Really, there is not enough content driven from non offer related posting.
I can live with that outcome.
I agree banning offers would be detrimental, but is that really true? A quick count of the first three pages of the forum right now shows that 10 out of 91 threads (11%) are offers. Looking at the total thread count in the Categories box, the proportion is still relatively low: 4,600 out of 26,800 (17%).
I suspect that looking at post count rather than thread count would skew the percentage higher still towards non-offers, because of those 10 offer threads, six have less than five posts (mostly zeroes). Only two have more than 20. None have more than 30.
Over the same few pages there are a ton of non-offer threads with higher double-digit post counts and even quite a few with hundreds of posts. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw an offer thread with over a hundred posts.
That said, I know you likely have/had access to numbers the rest of us don't so maybe my extrapolation about post counts is just way off. If that's the case, could you give us even a general sense of what the Offers post count percentage is really like like?
@Dylan, It depends how you look at it. Actual offers posted i.e. in the offers forum are one thing, then you have all the threads for offers not directly posted by the provider such as the recent online.net dedi, dediserve in singapore and so on. A lot of these threads end up in the general section rather than offers or even providers.
Then you have all the threads that turn from a question into an offers thread and so on.
The first couple of pages show what is trending and can change quite a bit day to day.
All depends how far you want to drill down.
I just meant ban providers from posting offers. If a forum member finds and posts one, fair enough. Should be easy enough to spot the shillers/create a rule to prevent shill accounts.
@Dylan and @Lee
Also remember that threads in the offer category is set to sink so they wont show up on the first few pages as old resurrected threads do.
So the calculation might be a bit off.
OMG, can you not read...
OMG, maybe I should go back to touching you instead?!?!?!?
The reply was more a confirmation of what you said and explanation to Dylan that his calculation was wrong.
Jeezes.....
Trying to get your post count up more like.
WHY DOES NO ONE WANT TO TOUCH ME? I'VE MADE IT CLEAR I'M AVAILABLE.
Because everyone thinks that you're girl.
Surely that should help my case rather than hinder it?
Girls don't exist on the internet, true story.
Not here, bro.
Right, that's why I looked at the total thread count in the Categories box too.
Yeah, I figured this is what you meant. Banning providers from directly offering would be one thing; banning everyone from posting any found deals or recommendations entirely would just be nuts.
You say that like it's out of place on here.
Yeahhh, but Nekki is only mostly nuts. There's a big difference between mostly nuts and all nuts. Mostly nuts is slightly sane.
