Well, my connection is ok, it's just DevSter's servers, and that is often around noon (+- 3h)

Yeah, I do believe you that my server I'm shared with is shit I was going to execute a crawler on these forums, and extract everything to a phpBB DB, and then run the forum on my site. Just pretty much ditching proboards . Then I thought again.... proboards have taken care of me since 2003, so they must be doing something right . So I just kinda left everything alone But yeah, definitely, after the next billing period, I'll go shopping for another cheap host again (tomman's site will migrate along as well ) BTW, is there anyone that would like a subdomain and ftp to host their site on monkeeh?

Yeah, but first I would like that you found a new host. (That one you have now is bullshit)

Yeah, but I'm offering for free . When I was more active in the community, I hosted many small devers just to grow the Genesis development group. I think the Genesis dev community is bigger than the SNES community? I mean, the SNES doesn't have a BasiEgaXorz, so there you go Yes, I agree that a web host that is only on for 20 hours out of a 24 hour day is bullshit . That's like 80% uptime . I'm not going to go to customer service because my 6 months will be over in June, so I'll just wait it out.

And what happened with that BEX public code repository that is still dead like a politic propaganda in the main homepage? Stay with ProBoards - surprisingly it's the only free board service that does not suck (aside of spambots, but even "highly-secured" Ikonboards/VBulletin boards are easy targets for shit like XRumer bots) In my case, my new host offers me 2GB of HD (more than enough for my purposes - if i want PHAT files, i use Megaupload), 100GB of monthly traffic (although they only assigned me a small fraction at the beginning - first 1GB, then 10GB, and now i'm at 30GB, and the next time that i complain i suppose that they will raise to 50GB, but my lusers are only leeching 10-12GB per month, mostly hotlinked images), and a shitty CS (only MSN, Skype and email - not even phone, despite being located in Venezuela!!!) But the uptime is not bad - sadly when they go offline for "manteninance/SW upgrades", even their homepage dissapears with a "Account suspended" homepage All yours for $40 YEARLY AND I WANT BASINEGAXORZ! The SNES looks tempting... *reads warning*BEWARE WITH THE LAWYERS - Nintendo*escapes*

Then, all old posts will be erased if you change to other forums. OMFG.

To keep spammers out, put in a Sonic Retro-style security system and you'll never get any spambots. Though you would need more mods Personally, I think phpBB's default color scheme is UGLY, unlike yours, so keep the original bg's and color schemes if you change forum servers. But, we'll get rid of ads if you change forums too. That is a nice function.

I remember when the forum colors use to be something like black text over an orange background. Then I put it to yellow text over blue background since its easy on the eyes . I also use the same color convention when coding If I host the forums on the same website as my host, I need to pay much more to my host than what I'm paying now . At least $5/month for a stable host.

Again, DNS sucks. (last week, the whole .de and .ve TLDs were seriously crapped - gazillons of unaccessible domains for hours!) Database is sized... 2GB and a toaster? Does Proboards allow DB backups? If not... too bad. AFAIK, the ancient InvisionFree crap did allowed backups. But i also agree: STICK to Proboards. As long as they don't use popups, we're cool.

If I move to my own hosted forums, then of course it will be on a different server . I already purchased the new host. I will be moving the main site (not the forums) within the week. Yea, I don't like the 70%-80% uptime , plus the DNS issues. The new host is 1000 times better Proboards doesn't give out the DB. And yea, DBs use space . This forums only uses 4mbytes Proboards has been using pop-ups. I've seen Firefox giving me a warning that it blocks these pop-ups .
