hub registration

[Pieltre]

Hi,

I've been running ptokax for quite some time now, but I never inquired into getting the hub more visible.   The field about 'register address', that says by default 'dreamland...'  is the one that lists my hub on the public hub list, isn't it?  If I want to get more visibility, what should I type there?

regards,
Pieltre

an update:


I found some interesting post on this forum about this, and I finally found out that the reg.hublist.org server was listing my hub, but with the wrong settings.  Since I left Holland, nothing has been updated, although I could see that the tracker had 'seen' my hub today, with 0 users, same yesterday and the days before... But my hub has an average of 150 registered users... what am I doing wrong?  

cheers,
Pieltre

Should say on //www.hublist.org for your hub info why it isn't showing all the users. i.e. 'private' or 'pinger nick banned.' If you're reg only the bot wont be able to get in, therefore it wont list the users or appear on the user hublist as there's no reason for it to.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.  I have finally got my firewall to allow pinging and since then, the bot registers the number of users correctly, but there is still a problem.  It doesn't list the correct country... is there anything I can do?

Guess you could try emailing the admin, my friend has a hub on there which has shown the wrong country for like a year, hasn't changed at all.

at the moment they only show the top 1500 hubs which really sucks as those hubs who need the users wont get them. It's sad to see your hub actually decreasing in members rather than rising.

Hi,

thanks for the replies.  My hub has more users than a number of hubs listed there.  I hoover around 150, registerered.   Also, I have tried contacting the admins of the site, but as you said, they didn't reply.  Also, the country thing is really quite messy, since it hasn't changed the country since I left Holland about a year and a half ago...   I give up, it,s not worth the effort.
