How do I get rid of these damn things.

Get an effective ad blocker.

FD says he is running this place at a loss of $250.00 per month.

He has always had income from ads.......and still...a net loss of $250.00 a month...he says.

Frankly, I do not believe him, but, on the other hand, he is not seeking financial assistance from Members.

He says he has a dedicated server and that is what is costing him....large.

I don't understand it all.

I took over a diminishing Forum, a large one in its prime, and the Owner was a very ill bloke, and it cost me about $250.00 a year.

I am damn sure Monk is not paying $250.00 a month to run his Forum.

I can't explain why this forum costs an arm and a leg to run -
$250 month after the income from adverts is subtracted!

There must be a better deal out there.

Reply #10 - May 6^th, 2020 at 9:24pm Well if you 'scabs' don't want to help pay FreeDiver's $250 a month bill - then F*uck off with your whingefest. I predict FD will close the Forum down next year, because of all you whinging tightwad scabs not wanting to contribute and have a cry instead. HTFU you scabby whingers or send FD some money.

I'm FreeDiver's 'mini-me'.
He calls me 'FreeLoader'.
He lets me off the leash to annoy you Trolls.
I'm like a white blood cell fighting infections like you. Tongue

Does that annoy you?
FD gets his money's worth from me. Wink

I get banned when they see you lot starting to cry Cry

It's the only way to put me back on the leash. Grin

Part of the problem is no or very few new members coming and the inevitable drop off of existing members—I have not seen Phemanderac post for years now and he was a good poster, high quality posts.

Cleaning up the front page as I have suggested might help to get visitors to join.

I think a dedicated server is extravagant—and if it goes down in the middle of the night here there is no one to tell Hostgator about it. With a shared server plenty other website Admins will be screaming to Hostgator, some in the same or adjacent time zones to it—i.e. would be screaming to Hostgator during our night.

Transferring from YABB to an SQL based platform would do the most good, going by what FD said about it. Be a nightmare to export/import all the data (posts, avatars, PMs, passwords, user groups etc) from YABB to another platform unless this is done by the host. Not sure what platform allows for MRBs, phpBB3 doesn’t, really, (use Forum Moderator functions?) Then move to a better host than hostgator.

phpBB3 will alllow Forum Moderators to be appointed—some permissions for this role are global so, like here, a Forum/MRB Mod will not be able to ban members from his or her board.

WARNING:
Members will have problems posting YouTubes and other media for people on Windoze10. Well, not posting but members using W10 won’t be able to see them.
