I wish I could do that. But unfortunately I have to spend much much more time to get the same points as you do, maybe 10 or more times.  |
What?! You need 30 hours to get enough points?
Perhaps you should spread the time more evenly over the month, then there are more topics to reply to and you will get your points more quickly. Starting topics yourself will also help getting points if there are few discussions to participate in.

I don't know how much time LLP uses up for me.
Really, I'm only on the board for sporadic periods of time (maybe 2-3 minutes max). But those sporadic moments probably happen 3-4 times a day (I work full-time, I go to school, I do freelance stuff, I multi-task).
But in the end, I still manage about 300-400 points a month. So 400 points is really manageable in my opinion, and if you're one of our members whose near a computer 24/7, there's no reason why you can't be knocking off enough points for the L2Publish Plan.  |

Hmmm, my experience was a different one. I joined on 2 Oct 07, it took about one week or 7 days to accumulate 500 points, with an average of one - two hours online daily. Based on this stats, if I were to choose L2Publish hosting, it would take me approximately 40 hours online time just to post to this forum. And I don't think I can afford that.
Perhaps, the long time taken is because I am quite new here at Lifelesspeople, therefore not familiar with the forum links (the view new posts link is useful). Also, I am not quite good at my English, I need to read posts by others, and find suitable topics to reply. At present, I don't think I can achieve 400 points like what LP-Harvey did - just by just checking the forums 4 times a day, 2 - 3 mins each time. Probably, this could be attainable when I become a more experienced poster.

It's basically quite as simple as just posting in topics you really know a lot about and you're really interested about, so you can write a lot about it and really collect like 30+ points in one swoop.

I use to use the hosting of Lifeless people but suddenly it was getting very tough for me to maintain the hosting of LLP, though I was using the lowest cost of PBPP hosting, it was getting lot trouble to maintain. So if you are able to post and able to keep posting then fine this is the best choice as far as I know, cause you definitely need to think about the server uptime for hosting.

I've only been on L2P for a few weeks now, and I find it doesn't take that much of your time posting, if you find topics that interests you, or come across a problem that you've ran into before.
The lowest plan requires 400 PBPP which I'm assuming the majority of the users on L2P have or planning to acquire. At ~20 PBPP a post, it'd take around 50 posts per month, so I can see why some are having trouble. If you reply to a few posts a day, you'll reach your monthly quota in no time.
Hopefully I can request my hosting in a couple of days. *crosses fingers* |

Bad news. Trel may be starting his "vacation" again.
He no longer replies to my support ticket. It has been 4 days.

It's 20 posts at 20 points average, not 50 posts. And a way to ease the load is to start "friendly" discussions with 2 sides such as what has become of the linux barriers thread where you just yak on for every point which you think you can refute 
And stay for awhile and you can get the 200 point plan.

I just received a message from LP-Bot, and was wondering what it means. I soon realized that they have reset my PBPP to zero after I checked my balance PBPP. Well, I have to try to accumulate that 400 PBPP from 9 Dec onwards, wonder if the resetting of PBPP happens on the 9th of every month ? How I wish that they can offer 200PBPP L2Perfect Plan even to newbies? This would save some time posting.

The billing will happen at the beginning of every month, but the date is never definite.
There used to be a L2Plan plan, which requires 200 PBPP per month, and is available to everyone. This was available in 2005 when the Vanir server was still in used.
Offering the L2Perfect plan to newbies would mean people signing up, post a little and try to get 200 PBPP, then stop posting again.

200 PBPP of L2Perfect plan might be perfect for me, but I need more bandwidth, that's why I am still posting for 400 PBPP plan.
It would easier to reach posts, but not points.  I mean, it is much easier to post 50 posts than to get 400 PBPP. But, anyway there is nothing to complain about those plains, and everybody is getting so used to the way it is working now.
There are so many times that I could only get 200+ points a month, and left the other half to next month. Seems like that I always run far away behind. |

You should be able to get around 400 PBPP from 50 posts. That's averaging only 8 PBPP per post. And with the increase in gained PBPP from posting (well, I guess it's not rally an increase anymore since it's been with us for several months), you can have a post that is only this long and get more than 8 PBPP. You just have to refrain from posting only super short posts that get you only three or four PBPP.
