Rok I think you gotta move away from Forumotion. You're so great at forums but hosting your own forums could bring you much moer potential.

I agree with the above poster. There is much more potential to grow and succeed with your site with custom hosting. Remember free hosts don't let you earn money with your forum.

True, but free forums can earn you a free domain (ForuMotion, that is.) :yes:

I don't plan on paying for a decent host. If the theme and design look nice, then I'm fine with it. It's a forum, and nothing more than a forum. Members direct themselves to post on any forum. Just because a forum is hosted for free, it doesn't mean that it's worthless. And Jonathan, you can earn money from free hosts. Actually, considering that you got the forum from free and that you're earning money from manually adding ads on it, you're basically just getting free money. All you need is an active community, and I have ForuMansion for that. However, when I'm working with forums, I care more about the posts and decent discussion on the board than the money that I could earn. Forums are created for fun, to meet new people, and to have a great conversation with others.

I really don't don't understand why you guys make out ForuMotion to be some kind of shitty host. Even though it doesn't give access to the database or quality backups, it's still an overall great host. ForuMotion offers free domains if you keep your forum active, the BBCoding is ten times as better as phpBB's crappy BBCoding (there's not even a BBCode for font change for phpBB) considering that you can practically form BBCode and HTML together with ForuMotion, and their updates are awesome.
