You're suprised? I've only been here for a couple days, and I can tell that this is the kind of host that will almost always ask about things like this!

It's simply the point that he is asking us about a decision which will effect his profit.

I guess my point is that djbob is such a good admin I wouldn't mind him taking a few liberties when it comes to this.

rct, first I would teach them how to make a program, and it's components ie. Loops, statements, functions, etc.

Wow, I'm surprised djbob is asking for our opinion.

My personal opinion, djbob, is to put it in every area you feel like in order to get you the maximum profit. My only request is that the ads aren't those annoying flashing "You just one a free <insert prize her>".

I'm reading The Art of Deception by Kevin Mitnik. It is a book on how it is much easier to have someone give you their password than actually crack it.

Joe

If you search, you will probably find a long topic on it.

Basically, this board gives djbob the option to charge a fee every time you make a withdrawal from the bank, and the credit card is an item that would allow you to make a withdrawal without being charged a fee. But you don't need one since djbob has it set up so that you don't get charged a fee to withdraw some helions from the bank.

EDIT: Just noticed, this is my 1,000 post!

I have two computers in which I can connect to the internet, ones a whole lot faster as it is a somewhat newer computer, and the other is from back in the 90's.

I find that about 3/4's of the time I visit my site, I get server not found. Is this simply because the servers are overloaded, or is there some other underlying reason?

I run freebsd on my computer now, as well as windows xp. Freebsd doesn't have any driver support for my NIC so I can only get online with my xp computer. I really like freeBSD though.

Joe

I think the w3school web site has php tutorials.

I think I started out learning from php.net

okay found out how to get to my cpanel but cant seem to login to it. is it not just the same as the login details i use 2 get on to here?

No, you specified them when you signed up. If you don't remember, I would P.M. djbob for further assistance.

Joe

Well what is the logical explanation on how your god came to a beginning?

In a sense of religion I can not debate you. Many religious fanatics believe the world will end very shortly in some sort of apocalypse. I do, however, have to inform you that science in no way shape or form (maybe a few crazies) think the world will end in the next ten years. Yellowstone national park is a real super volcanoes but it would not even affect the entire United States directly, let alone destroy the entire world. We do have some disasters that very possible, but so far none of them would destroy the world.

It's a horrible load time indeed, but you have to keep in mind it's a free service. It usually loads real slow during common times of which lots of people are on.

Well I used to think the same thing, but after a long bit of thought, I came to think they would be quite different to us. We really take "normal" as a relative term. We are accustomed to the things that have been invented in the past. All of those things are based on things invented before that. I bet that they have technology that is totally different than ours. For example we found steel, and then began to use it to support massive forces. We don't think of anything else, what if they never discovered steel, but instead discovered a different material, that withstood massive forces, yet had different properties. Then their technology would branch off from ours at that simple point. Who knows how many different paths we could have taken.

It's simply folklore told to children by their parents to make Christmas fun. It has absolutely no correlation to the religion (to my knowledge).

Wow, I didn't realize at first that you just necromanced this topic, next time make your own.

Second, how did you get the 5000 helions to get the domain name? Are you sure you didn't just sign up for free hosting?

What's your hosting account?

If you really did manage to get a domain name, I meant for you to go to the cpanel and get the error that comes up when you try and park the domain to the server, not the message you get from your browser when you try to go to the domain name.

Joe

I think 3d graphics are the best, if you can render them properly.

openGL ftw!

Did you

A: Send it to djbob as you were directed?

B: Try and park it. (What was the error?)

You could also post the domain name to help out a little.

Joe

When I click on it I get the following error: 2082ERROR: Script not called from cPanel.

This happens when Helionet's server's are overloaded. Hopefully djbob will be able to upgrade the servers some time soon.

I got the email below recently

Dear awsomejo,

Your hosting account at HelioHost is about to expire. It will be suspended in seven days on Wednesday, December 31st. This is either due to a period of account inactivity or missed renewal date. If you have not logged into cPanel in the last three months, please renew your account ASAP by visiting <a href='http://www.heliohost.org/scripts/renew.php?username=awsomejo'>here</a>. If you have a forum-posting-based account, you must renew your hosting by purchasing a hosting item in the forum store.

 

Regards,

HelioHost Staff

I'm guessing that it is the posting plus as when I go to link I get the following.

Sorry, your username could not be found in the list of accounts suspended for being inactive. If you have a forum-based account, try renewing it. Otherwise, contact site support.

Is there a way for me to tell when my posting plus package will run out, so I know when I have to buy a new one?

Thanks,

Joe

Well it all depends on what you are planing on making. Is the game 2d or 3d, do you prefer an API, etc. I will suggest www.gamedev.net and my site if you will(just opened) www.jprojex.com

I would look into php or javascript. From what you are saying it sounds like you are going to have the person directed to a page depending on their answer, where is this is not what you want. You want to edit the page based on their answer.

Joe

It must of been some sort of temporary thing, it works fine now.

Thanks though,

Joe
