Information on keeping your hosting account...

Hi Syxe users :),

For over a year Syxe has been under the management and ownership of Host and Hosty, which own other successful businesses. They purchased Syxe with the intention of making it a community-run forum and website - below I'll explain what our ambitions for Syxe are:
  • We will eventually create a Syxe blog which will have different categories for various subjects, such as Web development, Search engine optimisation, programming and the likes. There will be a section in the forum where people can submit their own articles that they'd like to appear on the blog (the forum in question will only be accessible to forum members - not guests/bots). We will try and make up some incentive system for those people's articles that are accepted and put on the blog, perhaps some form of financial incentive - the staff, including Host, Hosty, Myself, ss2man and Gabe will need to discuss how this will work - but I definitely believe that some form of reward system needs to be in place for people's articles that are put on the blog. Perhaps we need some virtual currency system on the forum and with that virtual currency you can request rewards such as hosting accounts, hosting account upgrades (when needed), domain names, gift vouchers, etc etc.
  • In order to keep your hosting account you will need to actively contribute to the Syxe site, perhaps being active on the forum often or submitting articles for the Syxe blog (when it is up).
  • Perhaps per-post you get rewarded "virtual currency" as we strongly consider posting and joining in with the community on the forum as an active contribution to the community.

Everything is still to be discussed with how things will work, but for now please let us know in this forum whether you'd like to keep your account or not. If you do not wish to be part of the community (such as posting regularly, submitting articles for our blog) then you may pay a $2.99 monthly fee to keep your hosting account. In order to keep your hosting account free of charge you will need to actively contribute to the community in any way you'd like; whether that's enjoying and being part of the community (posting on the forum), submitting articles for the blog, etc. It's entirely your choice! :) On Apr 2nd 2010, hosting accounts belonging to those that haven't contacted us to keep their account will be deleted, however we will keep backups of your hosting account for a period of time incase you need this.

If you have any questions feel free to post in the Private Messages To Staff forum :).

Thank you,
bastones and the Syxe team.
