Hey Guys,Sorry, I have been really busy lately... I couldn't even celebrate Trap17 Anniversary (which is still pending and shall not be forgotten :-) From past 2-3 weeks, I was busy with ComputingHost Servers and managing the billing issues due to the crappy WHMauto software.Because of some bugs, many of our client’s invoice tracking had been inaccurate and searching all the records and tallying them with the invoice date is a big pain! (Especially considering the time it demands)A

Our veteran members remember the reputation points system. The reputation point was aside from hosting credit system that your fellow forum peers gave to build the trust. It was mainly to gain credibility of this person's advice, post and information.The new forum version 2.1.4 features RATING system. This is similar to the reputation points. But instead of evaluating members individually, the rating system will rate individual topic. This allows two key factors to happen in this forum: 1) t

Appology To Avalon And Other Members For Gallery
Hey Guyz,Please accept my sincere appology for the IPB GALLERY screw up.. It was totally un-intentional but due to those numerous problems with the forum script. I decided to re-install the board. After 7 hours of non-stop upgrade process ... when I finally settled down to install GALLERY, it screwed up.It might have had an alternative solution, but it was 8 AM in the morning and I hadn't slept for 27 hours.. I guess.. And I just had one thing running in my mind, to fix Trap17 no matter what

Credit System For 2.1.4 Update :)
Hi Team and Members,I am trying my best to complete the Credit System for Invision version 2.1.4. Managing ComputingHost and especially looking after the servers is very much time consuming.QUOTEWhy is it taking soo much time, When you had it ready for 2.0.X?The update is taking a lot of time because 2.1.X has a totally new framework. There are new classes and the old codes don't match in their regular position.Secondly, I usually use Structured approach rather than Object Oriented. Even tho
Trap17 Forums Now Hosted On New Dual Server
Hi,We have moved Trap17 forums to a new server. You might ask, why this new server when we already had a dedicated server for the forums. The answer is, server DELTA was lagging behind and we needed something more powerful. Because of which, we setup a new DUAL server for Trap17. We tried our best to optimize it and I hope, the forums are smooth again. You might have observed a small downtime recently and wierd results with the MEMBERS ONLINE statistics. That was because, we used IP forward to r

Fraudulent Emails Sent -=your Hosting Is Suspended=- "this Is Spam" And Not From Admins At Trap.
Some one or some thing is sending out emails to the cpanel users of trap17.com stating that their account is suspended. The email looks legit, however your hosting credits and site are all ok. If you are having this problem please reply and state the situation.(please do not reply if your hosting credits are not positive)ThanksEric Drinkard
This notice is for hosted members, and is meant as a fair warning to let you know that we are using a script to validate all hosting credits. The script run once every hour and has three parameters.1, it checks to see if hosting credits are below 0 and if below 0 the account is suspended.2, it checks to see if an account has <= -30 (Less than or equal to negative thirty) hosting credits and if an account is found it will be terminated all data will be removed and the hosting space will be cle
OK, the confusion is when those who got hosting under the old rules see the question "How Many Hosting Credits Do I Need To Get Hosted?" The following rules are for initial hosting and not for upgrading an existing account.By the “new” rules you need to have a minimum of 10 hosting credits to receive hosting Package 1 also known as the “Starter Package”. The nest step for initial hosting is when you need more space. This need mere effort on your part with quality posts and you can then

Forum Hosting Database Altered
Hi,We lost the forum hosting database. The information related to members hosting account was lost. Luckily, we had a backup and things have been restored back to normal.IN ORDER TO PREVENT FURTHER ABUSE, I HAVE DISABLED THE ADMINISTRATOR GROUP AND SHIFTED ALL THE MEMBERS IN IT TO MODERATOR. THESE ISSUES CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS TO THE HOSTING ACCOUNTS AND ANY ACCIDENT WITH THESE DATABASE TABLES MAY COST THE WEB HOSTING ACCOUNTS OF THE MEMBERS.WE GIVE HIGHEST PRIORITY TO THE RELIABLITY AND DATA.

There have been issues of MySQL downtimes.. but the main reason is that some members are trying to experiment stuff.Some of the recent cases . 1> A member tried to send 50,000 emails ... while most of them were duplicate. I guess, to screw up the server. I had to delete his account.2> Some one tried to put random stuff into mySQL database, and he put it into an infinite loop. That caused mySQL to HOG up since it was expected to execute unlimited queries.. The tmp size was filled and SQL w
