I don't recall where I seen it, but was HelioHost a Post to Host platform at one point or another?

Heliohost is a non-profit corporation that doesn't charge for hosting or require you to post to obtain or continue running a hosting account. Unless you are referring to this which is completely optional.

😮 Whoa!!! This was not what I was referring to, the second Testimonial near the bottom of the page here: https://heliohost.org/ is what has one reference to what I'm referring to.

@wolstech, is one still able to attempt this? Would I be able to do this in Ookma's post above?

Sorry trying to figure out what you are referring to. After refreshing the page several times I could only find references to the free domain.

When you were active on the forum. You gained what was called helions and you could use them for hosting and other things.

Ohhh, your good! Sorry, should have conveyed a thank you for sharing!
Here are one of the testimonials I am referring to that lead me to believe that HH/HN was originally one of those networks that would give hosting space if you met the requirements. One of those requirements was forum posts.

 

Although I'm reading that wrong as well & the original reference that led me to believe what I believe is from this page: https://wiki.helionet.org/hosting/helionet.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting to see that. Anyone know why this feature was discontinued?

We were a post to host service back when we first started in the middle 00s. There used to be a point system. I don't really know the details though, it went away before I really started, and I've been here since 2012 (technically 2009 if you include my first account that I abandoned after a few months).

I have no idea which of the testimonials you're talking about, because those are random and change each time you reload the page. I know there are some really old ones from when we first opened though still circulating in there... when I loaded, I saw one referencing Stevie...a server we haven't offered in years (Tommy was his replacement).

I didn't know that, since I only started  few months ago, thanks for the history lesson.
