The End or is it?

Bad news everyone. My site will expire 03-06-2009 and I no longer have the time or money to renew. I'm willing to back up the DB but I don't know how to restore it to a new version of phpbb2. I'll try to make both a phpbb2 and mysql backup before that time comes.

Use this thread if anyone is interested in taking it over.

Sorry for the short notice I didn't know when my contract expired and servage just emailed me yesterday.

It's been a wild ride and I do hope someone will carry the torch forward.

Regards,

FT

it was a package deal, so I guess both would go. Theoretically we should be able to transfer this board to a new domain??? no?

As far as I know there should be no trouble transferring the database, as long as the board version stays the same. The best way to do it is to install a brand new, clean version of phpBB2 and then transfer the database

If LH is willing to host it, I'm willing to be a mod, dealing with new subscriptions, et al.

I really like this board, I hope it doesn't die :cry:

I have an account at Runboard and a board I could up new sections at my board just for this community for a temporary period until we can figure something out.

Or

I can make a new board all together. I can have it set up in a couple of days.

Let me know so I can set something up. This such a great community really hope it fade out. Its been a great run so far thanks.
