Forumotion lied to me. - No second year free

by Whogopenguin July 23rd 2009, 20:22

I was told last year that if I bought a domain, I would get the second year free providing my forum was still active.

This is not the case.

I strongly recommend nobody buys a domain expecting they'll get a second year free like promised Confused

Who ever told you that lied. Forumotion doesn't do that.

For 1600 credits you can have a personalized domain name for one year. You can at anytime delete it and retrieve your default domain name.

One Year it says.

Well, I got my domain for free for having a high PR (Page Rank) and having high activity points. The more active your forum gets, the more activity points your forum gain, which means when you reach the right amount of activity points for your forum, you are capable of getting a free domain name. If you maintain an active forum, you'll keep getting domains until your forum shuts down or becomes dead ('inactive' in other words.)

My forum had about 18,000 in order to get the free domain.

Where or how can you check your activity points?

by Rok July 24th 2009, 18:38

It should be on the homepage of your Admin Panel under the 'Statistics' section.

So when you get alot of activity points where do you go to get the domain for free?

Never really been a secret Razz

...and a link to the direct source, please.

Still, it shouldn't be widely advertised because spamming is a key issue.
