I could set up phpBB on my server (reliable), and use a bot to move the data over... (or keep this as an archive). It'd be faster, more featureful (word?) and such. It'd also give us more control over our forum, no ads, and a domain  (danballforums.com?) |

It costs extra to host a proboards on another host and domain.

Thats why he would change the forum to phpbb, like he said. I'm not very impressed by the proboards forum system, or at least this forum is a mess code wise. As far as I can tell, phpbb is much better, but of course it always depends on what you make out of it. The downside of hosting the forum yourself is you have to take care of security. Run forum updates, make sure the server itself is secure (I assume you have a dedicated server?) and of course the staff has to share their power, better speaking, they server owner always has more control then everyone else...

We've tried moving the forum before, and the attempts have never done us any good. Plus, there are now about 5 "official" forums out there, 4 of them failed attempts for us to move.

Yes, it would be nice to move, but like GGoodie said, it would most likely fail considering all the advertising and members we have gained from this very site...
There is one fairly efficient way to fix this problem, known as a re-direct link. Although it is against ProBoards ToS...

If you want to try and recode this whole skin for another type of forum go ahead, cause I really don't want to. It took some work to get the forum skin to work here, and I even had experience coding these.
Also, Pickle, what host were you planning to use? The one you share with Chrono for Rosasecta?
When did i say that? lol. I think you meant Qwerty

Actually, a dedicated host that we're going to move RosaSecta to someday.

No. Just no. We are not trying to move the forums again. Even when Listo did a redirect link, people simply got really annoyed at him, turned off the headers, and continued posting on this forum. We lost many members. Forum history is NOT going to repeat itself on this one. |
