| DCHubAd Private Hublist : FAQ |
| What is a private hublist |
| It is a list where you can list your hub and show only information about your hub that you choose. Users can not find your hub as we do not allow others to see your hub address. We have provided you with two ways of allowing a visitor to request registration on your hub, They can email you or visit a open public registration hub chosen by you in your hub settings on our list. Visitors are also able to PM you through the board but that is optional. We take security very seriously and do our best to protect your hub information while on our list. |
| My hub is not private but can i still list it here |
| No we do NOT list any hubs that are public or semi private(hubs that require reg to download and search). When the pinger discovers your hub is not private (which it will know) it will delete your hub from our list. |
| Do i need to register the pinger in my hub |
| Yes the pinger MUST be registered on your hub in order to enter, The rank you give the pinger does not matter as long as it can get in. Make sure the account you setup for the pinger in your hub matches the account info when for the pinger on our list, This can be checked when editing your hub. |
| I listed my hub hub cant find it |
| A new hub will be listed with the status Pending meaning it is waiting to be checked by our hublist pinger. If you can not find your hub then first go to My Hubs and see if your hub is listed as Pending. We do not list pending hubs on our list, All hubs need to be checked first. If your hub still can not be found then it may have been deleted by either you or a moderator for other reasons. If the pinger can not enter your hub for more than 30 days then your hub will be deleted automatically to help keep our list clean and up to date. Once your hub has been deleted it can not be restored, All votes and comments will be lost forever. |
| I think i found a fake hub on the list, what do i do |
| If you suspect any hubs that are faking in any way please report it to us so we can check the hub, if we can not enter the hub via our pinger we will delete the hub. Our only aim is to keep our list clean and keep everyone protected the best we can. |
| My hub has a new address, can i change it on the list |
| Yes, You can change your hub address on our list and you will not lose any votes or comments. Unlike public hublists we do allow hub address changes on our list but you can not list two hubs with the same address and same ports. You can use the same address with different ports however. |
| How often will my hub be pinged |
| As our hublist is still in development this is unclear, Intervals may change from time to time but as standard it will be about once every 3 hours. |

| Why is my hub status timeout |
| Our pinger attempted to enter your hub was unable to connect, This often happens when the server hosting the hub is being rebooted or the hub isnt running on the server. The pinger will attempt to ping your hub on the next round. If your hub status remains the same for more than 30 days your hub will be deleted. |
| Why is my hub status online |
| This means everything is running good, The pinger successfully entered your hub and has updated its listing. |
| Why is my hub status Redirecting |
| Our pinger made an attempt to connect to your hub but your hub tried to redirect our pinger. If this status remains for more than 30 days your will be deleted. |

| Why is my hub status Ignored |
| We only allow Private hubs to be listed on our server, read the Hublist Rules before submitting hubs. Hubs that are ignorred can only be seen by you and will never be seen by anyone else so do not bother wasting your time submitting public hubs or semi private hubs. |
