I get that reasoning but you have to also count in how they cannot hog a good resource for themselves while they are the oldest and already have a VPS themselves. There should be a way new and upcoming members of the community can receive a fair chance of receiving that beefy VPS even not having enough credit. By new and upcoming I mean (200+ credit range). Just my two cents feel free to give constructive criticism

If this is the case then wouldn't it be unfair for old members who have a high credit if any new members can take a big server passing them? What's the point of old members been loyal to the forum and contribute their time. Then credits would have no value at all. What fair is a member joins the forum then stay long enough to contribute enough to make him/her deserver a good VPS? Also, older the user then gain credibility. If they have a positive history at forum then you can be sure the would use a high-end server with care. Or a total stranger can come then grab the good server and then DDOS someone he dislikes. That might even cost us a sponsor. That this person might join again with different credentials and do the same thing again.

Also not every old member jump to every new server available. I have been using save VPS since 2017. Now there are lot better bigger servers available but I have no interest changing the VPS. So I think the give away rules we have here are pretty much standard for any post4hosting forum.  Contribute > Bigger Score > Better Server.
