It costs me $85/month to host this forum, due to the large amount of bandwidth and space it requires, and the load it puts on the processor (too much for most shared hosting). I resell hosting to others though to help try to balance out the costs.

The forum software itself is complete free though, as in beer and speech, from http://www.phpbb.com, as Observer said.

And, at times, the load is too much for Zernebok.

These forums eat servers.

How much bandwidth and space does it use then, Im getting curious?

Anyway, as my quest for cheap webspace continues, one of my many future plans is to maybe start my own hosting company when I start living on my own. Start of with some simple DSL connections and when I get more customers, do some upgrades and figur out a backup plan.... when (IF) that happens and Im making enough money to afford it... I might even consider to host this board for free (if its still around). Since it has given me a very good time ;).. well anyway, I probably never start my own hosting company due to lack of money or inspiration at the time.. so Ill keep dreaming. Lol.

I guess it isn't supposed to be friendly as it's a reaction to you reposting a removed post several times, which isn't friendly either and afaik against the forum rules.

He got it from his attachment CP. But the title is from the private section.

Agree. Besides, the moderators section is, obviously, for only moderators and admins.

It's easy. He posted something with an attachment, which then got moved to the spam bin because it was against the rules.

But then if he opens his attachment panel, he sees the new name of the topic in the spam bin. He can't actually open the topic though.
