Replies to hosting requests
there seems to be more and more people posting
"email me and tell me what you want"
after someone has posted a request including exactly what they want.
Shouldnt we all stick to actually posting a plan and a website rather than just telling the requester to send you a mail
after all why SHOULD they email you when they have put in a request and you WANT their business
just my 10 centsMatt Wallis

Once upone a time there was an announcement that said you had to post details of your plan when replying. Don't know what happened to it. Maybe something to do with the great paper fire of 1961.
There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

What kills me is half the time it doesn't even meet the request, is missing a critical part of the request
Must have this
(Replied offer mentions nothing about the "Must" have)
It's seemed to slow down lately, but a week ago it seemed to be the same people posting over and over the same replies with a slight change in numbers.dotGig

Every once in awhile I pop in and check a request to notice an entire string of posts simply did not read the original post lol.

I've always been on the team that roots for no replies in the Requests forum. Other than that, just report it and we'll remove it. I send out quite a few emails to 'repliers' in that forum, which does get a bit irritating.
