    Please create a free hosting request forum

    I have noticed as of late greater than 50% of the requests in the Hosting Requests forum are for free hosting. It is an incredible waste of time wadeing through all of those.

    Some mention free in the title, others mention "sponsor", but for those that don't, perhaps with the extra mods, if we come across one, we can take the time to edit the title with [free] ???

    I'd like that, actually. [free] or [sponsored].

    You mean in the thread title; or a forum category?
    There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

    There should be a mod for vB were you can add options, so if there was a Free or Sponsered request the person posting could chose it and like were it says important: it would say Free: or Sponsered:...

    In the thread title. Adding more forum categories would just make things more confusing. I think. (And of course there would be users who don't post in the correct category.)

    There should probably also be a note on the Post a New Thread page that links to an explaination of why free and / or sponsored requests may not get too many answers - because we can't really reply with "Sorry, I can't help you / we don't do free or sponsored".

    But that's just my opinion, others' opinions may vary... (making it a sticky might mean that people won't read it; and since I use the View New Posts pretty much exclusively, I don't see stickies.)
