Hi there! Im rather sceptical about the current Forum CMS the site uses, it is not one of the best when it comes to free ones, and there are many great and better forum CMS than proboard provides which is I believe PHPBB3, it is a good one however not in the way proboard provides, I understand that you have no access to the databse or MySQL which would of be rather hard to add modules to the forum so I suggest either: SMF or MyBB
Of course that is all up to you but SMF and MyBB has great features in better than this, personally I can say MyBB is a free connection attempt of vBulletin and IPB. SMF is easy to use and is user friendly and has many great themes and modules! So if you want me to get into the rather critic side - If you decide to stay with proboard ((free forums provider)) I would of say, do something with the design.

So you want me to run the site on a completely different server, starting from scratch, with a whole new host, loosing everything that weve done thus far.. No can do im afraid, ive spent money on domains, add removal etc. The site serves its purpose fine, as an Airsoft discussion forum.

I'm not telling BullDog nor ordering but suggesting and criticizing, domain's are changable from host to host, you simply change the DNS IP however since the real address is airsoft-tactical.proboards.com/ meanwhile your main domain which is .com is used as alias only could of be used to create proper forum while this is underusage. However once again I suggest as speaking in "Suggestions | Feedback" it is all up to you either way.

I've had a look at the myPB that you suggested and its a lot of effort to transfer, all the files need to be uploaded separately and it would mean diverting traffic, loosing stuff that we've worked for here, it all seems quite complex too, i wouldn't want to balls anything up on here.
I appreciate the feedback, however i don't feel that there would be any great benefit, so the control panels are a little easier on the eye and to play around with, but where not a role playing forum nor or we in anyway a game site, were a simple discussion forum for a simple sport, i think that were fine with the provider we have.
For the time being.
Regards.

I agree with bully, theres nothing wrong with the board as it is now. Isnt MyPBB focuses at buisnesses and sites that bring a substantial income :/
