Closing up Shop
- Thread starter Justin1
- Start date
This is why I stopped joining brand new advertisement boards as much, they usually close up within the 1st month or two. Anyways, sorry to hear that. Looks like you wasted your money on the domain (and hosting if you arent on a free host).
If you dont want to talk about it then you should not have made this topic -😉-
Besides that you dont need another admin to run a board. I ran FA by myself for the first few months. Its not that hard. FP only has one admin right now.

It gets alot harder when the forum grows bigger and you host the forum yourself.Travis said:
Justin, I think you're being very childish about this. Having read the announcement you posted on your forum i have come to the conclusion you would have been better of not posting anything at all.
Whoever did this clearly had a motive, whether it was something you said to him or even something you didn't do that you were supposed to. That announcement acknowledges that he did it, and because of that he will 1) Continue harassing you or 2) Sit there laughing.
He has succeeded in his task - to close Steel Adverts down. Do not give him the satisfaction, i would pick yourself up and start again or at least use the hosting for something else.
I don't want to sound like the evil guy here, but i hope you have learned two valuable lessons from this situation.
1) Always remember to take backups of (A) Your database (b) Modded Files in the file system
2) If you're going to recruit another Admin, make sure they're someone you either know in person or trust very very well.

I didnt say to him anything. He tried to install a mod without asking me and he screwed up the database so much that it was unfixable. I deleted all the forum and re upped it. The thing is, when i had backed the database up, it did not work. I was on live support with hostgator for about 2 hours. Then he gets mad at me for no reason whatsoever. I specificly told him to ask me before he did anything to the board. And he didnt do what i said and messed up

As you still have some posts and members you may aswell keep it running as it is running fine now and you could just carry on.

I am saying that if you do choose a free host don't pick them as they are bad...
