Hey Dudes, (I always start like that lol)

I was wondering

Perhaps you should increase the amount of times the signup lottery is held

Maybe twice a day. On at midnight and one at midday!!

I dunno if would like that, but it might stop some people complaining that they have signe up 20 times and still havent been accepted.

Anyway, your choice admin!

The reason for the lottery is to stop the flooding of accounts that crash the servers and only allows people in who really want hosting. This in turn keeps the servers running stable for everyone else and cuts out the spammers\abusers.

The only way to do it twice a day would be to cut the allowed accounts in half for each time, that would mean people would have to signup twice as much since each time the lottery is ran the other applications are erased. We're currently working something out that gives the people who try multiple times a higher chance of getting an account.

Like always, suggestions are welcome to help or improve our service.

Thanks,
-Corey

Later there was ~100 signups per day now theres ~200.
More and more people want to sign up all days! And the best way to keep fools out is to allow only 1 account per ip, e-mail, and of course by the name[FirstAndLast]
