First off, thank you everyone for your continued support during these technical problems. I would consider this problem with the forums the straw that broke the camels back.
First, I am currently investigating moving to a new webhosting provider and think i have found one already. They are very competitive in price and have way more space and transfer available.
Secondly, we're going to upgrade to vBulletin as our forum software since it is pretty much the industry standard and is much more flexible and stable than phpbb. Ill have to figure out a way to replicate the look and feel of the curent layout, but moving forward, i think this is a good decision.
So what does this all mean? Well all those stickers you guys ordered and what few (sniff sniff) donations I've received will be put towards buying the hosting and software (thanks goes out to GrimmSpeed for covering the hosting costs).
Ill keep everyone informed about the planned downtime. It won't be for a bit as there are a lot of details that need to be sorted out first.
