How Come ? My forum has 200 members they don't seem to really care however they sure love the content of my site, If I had a job I would pay vbulletien which is the best forum software I ever seen if not Ip.board is also good.
Does my forum look good ?

Personally, I don't like Forumotion either. They were my very first host, and I have had some not so great experiences with them. Also, that is NOT real PHPBB3. It's actually a heavily modified PHPBB2. Their ACP looks like it was thrown together in about five minutes, and it just wasn't a good host at all. I'd look for a real free host that has real PHPBB3. Forumotion is good for someone who's never run a forum before, but we all have to get some experience sometime in our lives. The link I gave you earlier is one of the better bets if you want experiment and get experience with actual PHPBB3.

I created a new forum http://narutorpgunited.b1.jcink.com/ I think thats better but my forumotion site has so many post and members moving would really be annoying.

Hey man, if you like your forumotion site, continue to use it. If you have an active member base, than you might want to think what they want before taking opinions from another site.

Zeta is good I just don't like the domains it gives you.

You can use your own domain with it. But like I said, you might want to ask on your board before changing. Your members might be comfortable where they're at, and not want a change.

Allow it to load fire fox, your probably using it.
Most people do not care about the host or the software. They want a nice busy forum that looks like it can deliver the goods. The average user on the internet doesn't know anything about forum software, they've never run their own board, few even glance at the copyrights at the footer. if you can do these things: make it active {Or at least seem active!}, make it look good and pro, make it look like it's a hotspot for the topic they are looking for then you will get members and a thriving forum regardless of the brand it is running on. You should only change software if you know of another software that can enable you to better deliver what your members want or would enjoy.
