1) Lifelesspeople.com Store / Virtual Point Store:
Q: Could you open an online l2p store with Tshirts and misc?
A1: The VSP may include Lifelesspeople.com t-shirts but, I believe it will most likely include only virtual goodies like template designs, domain names and premium services.
A2: I might put up shirts for VSP, ones made at the local shop that made the ones I wear. They would more than likely be 150,000+ VSP though. Wink

3) Custom/larger/smaller plans
Q: Could you implement custom plans?
A1: We have been considering some sort of way to work this out but, keep it from being abused. Unfortunately we have not yet come up with a way.
One thought I have had is a special rate on VSP -> RDP for members going on vacation. 10:1 for them or something of that sort.
A2: This sort of tiny plan isn't a bad idea in theory but, it increases the overall accounts and also opens us up to abuse.
A3: Occasional sale: http://www.lifelesspeople.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5655
A4: Generally it has a negative effect on the overall health of our servers.
A5: Honestly this just isn't possible with the system as it stands. It isn't the frontend here on the forum but, the backend in the control panel itself.
Unfortunately I have no control over how the control panel is made soo.. we'll just have to make do.
A6: This has been requested over and over. Due to the cPanel backend and our accounting backend here on the forum not being tied together, this isn't possible.
A7: Okay let me explain some base things about server systems.
Certain things offered don't really matter as far as resources go but, some do.
An example of this is MySQL, the more databases that are on the system the longer it takes to back them up everyday.
The more email addresses the more the system has to parse on daemon restart. The more addon/parked/subdomains the more the DNS clustering system has to sync on start.
The problem is that each of these features takes resources, some more than others. Allowing people to take from one and add to another would mean they would want to trade 20 FTP accounts for 20 MySQL/PostgreSQL databases. That just won't work.
As of right now every account is balanced and the system can handle so many users based on their usage. If I allowed this the systems could become unstable.
Sorry but, this just won't happen on a larger scale.

7) In lifelesspeople we trust
Q: How does lifelesspeople sustain?
A: This service is a production proof of concept for newly developed technologies. Hence the reason for L2Presto(tm), L2Compressit(tm), the advanced antispam systems, PHP4/PHP5/Perl/Python/Ruby support, MySQL 4.1.x and PostgreSQL support.
We sell this technology to paid webhosting companies to offer to their customers.
You get the use of it all for free so we can show other companies how it works with live websites.

8) Games
Q: Can we have a game-forum? Lifelesspeople arcade/gaming department?
A1: Lan Party Lair
Programming Discussion (This one is a big duh. )
and Local Bistro
Enjoy!
A2: We can't add flash games we do not own and since we've created no flash games it seems a bit hard to add them. Wink

9) L2P Skins
Q: Can l2p have another skin? I can't stand all the grey and white.
A1: I hate changing themes. This one works fine so get used to it. Silly
A2: The biggest problem with multiple themes is the job of updating every single one when we make any modifications that involve the UI... because we have to propagate the changes across all themes. Sometimes that breaks the theme, sometimes it doesn't. Either way, it's annoying... keeping to one theme means we don't have to flip back and forth between themes to double check everything we do is showing up properly in all themes.

10) Arcade
Q: Could an arcade be installed on LLP for the users to play games and to make extra VSP?
A1: I will not add needless modifications to the forum.
If at some point I feel that this could benefit us in some way, I may look into adding it. At this time it is not a priority.
A2: We can't add flash games we do not own and since we've created no flash games it seems a bit hard to add them.
