Free Blog and Forum Setup

[LiNuX]

Ok I have taken this idea from Greent from this forum and added on something extra - I have asked for permission of course so dont worry about that. I was thinking of giving my members free Wordpress Blogs or Forum softwares with admin access and FTP access to my server. This is all in exchange for points of course. Note that I may have to charge monthly since that is a way to make sure that you stay active. I am asking for opinions in this topic and here are some of the rules and guidelines you will have to follow:

Your forum or blog does not need to put a link back to us and it does not have to have any of our ads at all. It is all up to you. You can put your own ads if you want. No restrictions.

The only blog software i will install for you is WordPress and Forum softwares include phpBB, SMF, and maybe YaBB.

Your domain will be domain.ec9.org - Replace domain with what you want. It is a very short domain and easy to remember. You will be given about 5 gigabytes of bandwidth to use monthly - Meaning I will check the blogs for the bandwidth they are using up - over 5 gigs can be troublesome but i doubt that will happen. My most active blog with most visitors dont get more than 3 - 4 gigs a month.

You cannot host: warez, porn, downloads, or any other illegal content sites.

You will not get cpanel access, i dont provide reseller hosting. If you want your mySQL database - you have to request it from me and i will get it for you within a week so just ask me ahead of time if you need.

All said and done - I wanted to get some opinions if anyone would like the idea of me giving out free forum and blog hostings in that subdomain. I want to get some opinions before actually starting up anything for that.

Also please tell me why you chose your answer and what you believe the monthly price should be.

Thanks! I plan to put this to action when i move this to the new server by next weekend.

I put forum because I am more active on forums than blogs. So I would like forums better. And about the price... ummm, I'm not sure. As long as it's affordable it's ok.

price meaning points lol - not money if that's what you were talking about lol

[diablo]

i said both since i am able to handle both lol - and for points - how about like 200 or 300 GFP per month - i dont think its that much - i can buy for 3 months right now lol i think it'll be a good offer

[KittyCat72]

Yeah, I meant points. But still... it needs to be affordable. I wouldn't want to have to save up my points for 3 years or something, even at the rate we post, lol.

i like the 200 GFP per month - its like 25 posts a month - not much to ask for is it?
