A large number of hosting applications were processed tonight, many of which were, for various reasons, rejected. If your site was rejected for hosting, don't despair! You still have a chance to resubmit. Here is a quick list of the most common reasons applications were rejected:

• The supplied link to your concept site was broken
• The concept site was broken
• The concept site was 'under construction'
• The concept site was a simple forum with no real design
• The concept site had no 'hosted by AusGamers' button
• The concept site had a non-skippable Flash intro that took ages to load
• The concept site was really, really ugly
• The concept site was for some sort of weird, non-gaming personal site
• You had a fake address
• You had multiple reports under the same name with different addresses that were close enough to look suspicious - please just make sure you put your real address and don't get creative
• You had multiple requests all for the same site with different concept sites
• You had multiple requests for different sites with the same concept site

They are the most common reasons. It will really help your application if you have the AusGamers button featured prominently on your site. If you want to have a forum on your site, you'll get extra points if it is an AusGamers Forum. If you have an AusGamers Forum, you'll get extra points if you've taken the time to work on it so it doesn't have the standard skins.

Apologies to all those who missed out in this batch; please note there are still more in the queue so if you haven't heard from us yet one way or the other, your application is still in the queue and will be processed as soon as possible. If you did miss out, please do not just blindly mail us asking why - check the above list and see if you can figure out why your application was rejected first before doing so. If you've carefully checked everything in the list and you're still at a loss, post a comment to this item and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

The concept site was really, really ugly

LOL, gg trog :)

*hides the fact that he got hosted without the Ausgamers button on his site and without using ausforums*

;-P

I've got the button up now of course O_O

sigh. i have emailed hosting support asking for my password twice with no response, submitted a request for new webspace, using the current webpage on there.. and now after being rejected 3 times (taking 2 months per time) its prolly cuz i coudlnt put a proudly hosted by ausgamers button on.. due to getting no response from ausgamers..fdarelfkj argh :)

why for why for. frustrated getting, i am.

time to resubmit :P

I'm lucky, last time I submitted it must have been right before they were processed because I got an email back nearly straight away. Then I fixed what was wrong and wondered why it was taking so long the second time 'round ;)

I am still waiting on http://nxs.auscstrike.com I signed up around 1/2 months ago. I have also sent off 2 emails in the last 1/2 months asking for my application to be processed. If this could be sorted trog I would be greaty thankful. You can contact me at sybexdark@telstra.com

My current concept site for nxs is:
http://sybex.ausgamers.com/nxs

http://kei.auscstrike.com/kei.php

Please put thru the webpage account
v3.auscstrike.com
i think it was actually teamv3.auscstrike.com

But what the hey :\

applied over a week or two ago and no response, sent an email to hosting@ausgamers.com for my application to be processed and yet still no response, can I please know what's happening with my application? If you could get it done asap then it's much appreciated :)

WarHawk: You haven't got ur button in the top fold of the page... u might wanna quickly change that before they deny u again
*1 week or 2 isn't a long time pppl sometimes have to wait up 2 months before getting a reply.
good u have a working forum... they do prefer the ausgamers one ;)
Your main page is awfully big... u might want to move ur news into pages or archive it.
I'm on cable and it still took a little time for me to load it.
Now posted on these forums sometimes doesn't help u out much. Most of the time there are admins on Enter the Game - ausgamers IRC channel. If you do not have mIRC go to this site:
http://www.qgl.org/irc and there should be an admin there to sort out ur problems... I recommend Trog and Cold... They usually are really helpful. Private message them if its personally details.

wat proggie/script are u useing so when u post news it also dos it in the forum?

ausforums dont support that yet as nathan is too lazy to write up docs for triumph =P but if you want a simple alternative for a little while until triumph is freely available i recommend phpBB as it is easy to use and has a great news mod

Yeah I suppose, better fix it asap =\

The main page is big because that was my old gaming site I ran for the local community that we provided news for, although I've fixed the problem for now and shouldn't take as long to load to preview it.

update: fixed :))

Is it a horrible thing to ask if my domain can be changed to a different name, or will I have to keep the old one, It's kinda useless to me now

Just wondering how long till more requests are processed?

My requested domain was d2sector.ausgamers.com
my existing site is http://d2sector.u2i.org/

I ask this as very very soon I need to find a new place to host the site! [hosted on ISP that i wont be using 4 much longer :-( ]

I feel a bit guilty seeing you guys have been waiting for months and I've only been waitin 1 or 2 weeks ;) but I agree it would help alot if someone just posted when the next time hosting applications will be processed.

I applied for nst.auscstrike.com and like with the others any news or info would be appreciated...

P.S. OH MY GOD!!! Someone has almost the exact same name as me!! Oh darn I'm not as unique as I thought... :'(

Just wondering when my site would be able to get hosted with you guys it has been a while. But i am just wondering how the applications are coming along

My domain i want hosted is www.clan-ma.com
You can contact me via email at pizzaboy_au@hotmail.com Any information regarding this matter would be appreciated

I process hosting applications whenever I get free time, and when I'm not doing other stuff like painting warhammer 40k miniatures. I generally do a batch of 50 or so each time though.

cyph i would like to thank you for the job that you do for processing the hosting applications. It is a hard job when everyone wants to be hosted. Keep up the good work

Now that you're on a role of good work, please process my application too... when you can

Incase it easier for you cyph, I just thought I'd post my app details again (I think it would be intelligent if you processed applications of people who are active on the forums first ;)

Site app: nst.auscstrike.com

P.S. Thanks for the work you do anyway even if it's gonna be a while

umm for some reason my website has been accepted but when i go to it it says its forbidden ...WHY!!!
I applied for:

Site app:
csu.ausgamers.com

sinacio26@hotmail.com

Current Site:
www.geocities.com/madzam69/-csu-clansite.htm

required url: http://exhale.ausgamers.com
temp site: http://clan-t.auscstrike.com/exhale
Contact email: boxratio@hotmail.com

could i plz have it hosted on the same FTP login name and pass? i have emailed u guys for the last month or so :) we recently came 3rd at the NSW WCG quals ect.

you people don't seem to get it. do you think that cyph and the like just sit on computers all day looking at your application and think "nah, some other time"?

they are very busy people and you just need to learn some patience. whether you came 3rd at WCG qualifyers or came 2nd last in your local LAN comp, it wont make your application go through any faster.

just settle down and let the admins do their thing and they will email you as soon as they get up to you.

kthxbi (stolen from Exocet :P)

required url : rsoulz.auscstrike.com

email: coretex@optushome.com.au


I have waited about 1mnth now could u please process / take a look at the site, we really need this rsoulz.auscstrike.com
thanx.

madzam: make sure you are uploading your files into csu.ausgamers.com/html in your ftp, and that your 'homepage' file is called index.html or something similar.

Last time i checked the script that processed applications was in need of an overhaul, so please be patient guys :D
