IPBFree?

Staff members, have been and will always keep in contact, please do not assume we fell out as some rumours suggest on the internet.
 
K thanks, but why did it close so suddenly ? was there a long debate on whether to do it or not, or was the action taken out right away ?
 
This is one of the things I wrote in one of my articles about free forum hosting. - prone to being deleted at any time!

We reserve the right to our own judgment of the situation and this will be truth in our opinions until such IPBFree staff can clarify the situation.
 
According to my sources, it was because of the DMCA notices because of illegal content on some forums.
 
I see that it was also because of DMCA notices in a thread at iPBFree
 
Yeah and also, there would be no other legitimate reason for the removal of all sites related to iPBFree.

Hm, your right, although I'm pretty sure I saw a page with 2010 as the date. I'll be snooping around 🙂
 
Jcink is nice enough to offer this: http://forum.jcink.com/index.php?showtopic=14491

Many people have been left without their board as our competitor iPBFree has dropped out of the competition recently due to unfortunate issues.

In light of offering people a new start on another great host, we have decided to donate former iPBFree board owners $15 dollar value worth of ad removal credits (75,000 page views) to help aid in the rebuilding new communites.

We hope that this bonus, plus the wide array of features we offer in our software will persuade you to choose Jcink.com as the new home for your community. Getting this bonus is simple.

This page contains details about how to work with ad removal credits once you get them:

Although I still recommend people use a "self hosted" free software (like MyBB or phpbb) on a free web host (if they dont want to spend any money).
 
This is very sad that so many people lost their forums, and Invision free does not offer backup off databases. Jcink looks like a great alternative for people who need a free invision hosted forum.
 
Looking back, I realize how fortunate I was in my choice of free forum host. The name is of no consequence now, as the service is no longer available (for the sake of giving them credit, though, that host was Exocrew). That said, when I found them years ago, they were offering free phpBB2 hosting with phpMyadmin and FTP access, and no hard drive space or bandwidth limit. The only catch, too, was a medium sized banner on the footer. Well, if there was really a cost, it was the days I spent using Google to search for the ideal host, but it was obviously worth it. As I backed up every night, I never had to worry about losing much data, and indeed I kept all of it when I moved to a paid host.
