we're not moving as it seems, but i'll be active there now that i created a reddit account, right now there's too few active people in the subreddit

Guys, I may have a solution. Please, settle down as I stress the word MAY because it may not works out at all.

I currently owns and maintain my online portfolio with my own domain name through a hosting service. The host also offers phpBB, but I am not sure if it is free or not AND if it allow transfer and backup. I am also not sure if I will be able to change the domain name as I am paying for only ONE right now. And I don't know if it will cost extra, but hopefully it is free because I am already paying yearly for hosting service so money is NOT an issue for me.

I will need to look into it more, so hold on. If anyone else have more viable solution, feel free to go ahead with it.

Ak, you gave chance for good future. :)

Good luck AK

Its good to see people working to save the forum.
(AK as admin, sounds interesting)

Can I ask to be part of what comes next?
Not as an admin, and if we do what Mateusz did to stop spam, I do not check my emails allot.

But...I would like to be assigned to receiving sexual harassment complaints, or reported post, or similar cases that comes in the future. Its not that I wish for those to come, but I can relate to those...if the situations arises, when people do such things online.

One last thing, I feel we should divide up some of the workload for what ever new forum comes up. Cause...if this forum is being closed because of what I think the reason Mateusz is doing, I would not like history to repeat itself.

Can we also edit the forum we choose? Make the background and the layout of the post and post messenger similar to this forum? It would just make it feel more like home. And...how do we copy data from the forum? I been reading the post, but there is no "How To" thread or post. And if storage space is one issue, I have an external Hard drive I can back it up too.

that's the way to do it.

phpBB installation must be free, if not - you can install manually in a folder of your choosing.
I assume you have FTP access. That allows the transfer of all database from here to new forum.
Moreover - I can give you my forum theme so it looks exactly like this one.

Yay!

I will pray for AK.

:')

If Vortex and me can't save the fórum, AK could.

That's what oldest forum member's destiny is
