Go to a different provider. That new one looks like crap.

Soon I'll be asking for a few volunteers to help.me with the migration, just to go through the new forum and see if there are any errors with the conversion. If you'd like to help, PM me.
I'm still looking for maybe a couple more people to help - especially if you've been with the forum a long time, or have read through a lot of the old topics.

Hiccup - Yeah, it's not my snappiest comeback.

What should I put here..

I've always hated those pre set forum boards, they're awful and have no uniqueness about them. I definitely support migrating to a new hosting site but I would love to know where you would go with it. I know developing a website is hard and I've helped develop one myself and it took half a year and we are making a new updated one and its taken about 8 months so far (Its supposed to handle a game server community with 100+ players so you can see why).

There are many websites out there that offer prefab forum sites but the decent looking ones are never free and most of the time somewhat expensive in the initial purchase. I recommend getting in touch with a friend who may have something lying around such as a prebuilt site. I can try asking my friend who is the lead man in developing the website if he has any finished websites he's willing to give.

Anyways I hope the community doesn't die because of this as its a bit of a shame this iconic website has to go so soon. I wish you good luck and if you need any help regarding getting a new website up and running just flick me a PM and I'll try to help

@Joel: hictooth is going to be hosting it himself, from what I understand.

Oh I thought he was finding another forum base like ZetaBoards or whatever it was called.

Yeah, I'm going to host it myself, on phpBB. It's a very popular forum host, you'll probably have used it if you've visited other forums.

I was thinking of jcink - their admin is awesome and their platform is great too, but I wouldn't be able to import everything that we'll, so phpBB it is.

Will you just migrate the data?

I always thought this forum was off a prefab and everything was a prebuilt site so you are unable to migrate the data? Or is it a custom backend made by you or someone?
