Please read thoroughly

Q: What is the cost of the membership?

A: An easy $15.00 a year.  Consider one answered question by a local technician could run you upwards of $100 per hour.  Here you can ask all the questions you want for $15.00 a year.

Q: What do I get with my Membership?

A: You obtain the ability to post questions in the forum areas of your choice and all the free software utilities provided in the members software section of the site for one full year.

Q: Can I have a refund once I join?

A: There are no refunds.  The reason is because of potential abuse.  People could sign-up, ask their question get an answer and then say they wanted their money back. 

Q: Do you guarantee me access 24/7?

A: As long as the server is up, you should have access, however, since I don't have physical control over the server there may be few occasions when it is down shortly for maintenance.  And as for the forums, those too like most things will come down for short periods of time for maintenance.  But other than those two items, you should have full 24/7 access.

Q: Will other people have access to the software utilities?

A: Not unless they were obtained prior to the site turning to membership or illegally.  Anything released after the membership changeover will be only available to members.  No more public utilities.  Membership has it's privileges.

Q: Can I email Ken Knight with questions on how to fix my problems?

A: Yes you can, however, the number of emails he receives each day is rapidly growing into the hundreds, therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that you will receive a response.  However, it should be noted that he does make every attempt to respond to all emails.

Q: Can I call him on the phone and get him to walk me through a problem?

A: Your first and foremost attempt at correcting your problem should always be the forums, however, you are more than welcome to call and receive help, but please understand that this is what his business (Help Consulting) does and therefore you would incur hourly rate charges.  If this is something that you feel you need, you may email him for current rates.

Q: Are there any reasons that I could be banned from the forums?

A: Absolutely!  Obscenities and foul language will not be tolerated in the forums.  Expressing your opinion is one thing, but directing language at individuals or companies in the members forum is strictly forbidden.  You will be warned once and the offending language will be replaced by more appropriate and palatable language by a forum moderator.   A second offence would result in this person be banned from the forum.

Q: Do I post my question anywhere are is there a specific guideline for posting?

A: You will need to think about what the topic of your post is and put it in the appropriate forum.  If it is related to networking, put it in the "Networking" forum.  If it is "Off Topic" put it in the General forum and so on.  If there doesn't appear to be a forum related to what you're wanting to post on, then drop it in the general forum.
