Queen- "The Saintsational Song"
"There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
from us....
.......There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us"
but in all seriousness.... give me a stable site with a few extra options (ignore button sounds good).... and I'll chuck some $$$ again....
........it seems matrix's concern is based on wanting to know what we'll be contributing to... and that's a fair request IMHO....
some on here can't see that those asking the questions are those who are willing to chip in and make this joint a better/more reliable site...
I'm going to follow matrix's lead and hold onto my money until I know what I'm donating it to.
I don't want ownership.. I don't care about admin of the joint....I just want to know if this place will be better after I've handed over my hard-earned $$...... because we obviously went the cheap option last time.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

I think there might be a bit of confusion about hosting vs software. The hosting is what we pay for; ie. how much memory/resources will our service have, how much bandwidth and storage space, etc. As long as whoever we go with offers a better quality of service than what we have now I doubt most people would be too concerned about the choice of webhost.
The software is probably more important to users - the software is what dictates whether there is an ignore function or there is a warning system in place, etc. The users of Saintsational will definitely have a say in which features are activated, the version we are upgrading to will be http://www.phpbb.com/about/features/?from=submenu - there are a lot of features there and I'm sure there'll be some active discussion on here about what will be used. For example; should all users have to have their first post verified by a moderator before it appears publicly? Should we allow the ability to report posts, etc, etc.

and see what the thread turned into
shite fight again between the same posters
AGAIN
i'll quote from another place
"Why the need for a fundraiser for hosting?
I'd do it for nothing.
upgrade the software to a version written in this Net century, I'll even do that for them. They'll be hacked again too if they don't do that.
If they are getting people to chip in then they should at least move the forum to a better platform (most have a cost).
They could even use a 3rd-party to host their forum for them. That way they don't have do do the technical support and the people paying get quality-of-service"
there you have it
someone with a clue that would be willing to help
but im guessing you want total control over the reigns and wont even take on someone elses help for 5 mins (but still retain control)
all you have to do is ask
its an option

I don't see them getting on here and offering to do it. If the offer isn't there then it isn't an option. Bit harsh to criticise when this is the case currently.

all i said was you have to ask
If this white knight is wanting to do everything they are saying, then they need to offer it. I can't just post randomly and say "if you're reading this I'm asking you to pay for everything..."
But yes, we will make sure it doesn't get hacked. We're getting this guy to help...

Battye, changing hosts will not solve the problem.I know GoDaddy didn't used to have an amazing reputation around 2003-04 but I think things have turned around as I haven't heard anything too bad over the last few years. Having said that, I haven't heard anything bad about Dreamhost either. Just having a quick glance at the specs, it looks like GoDaddy offer slightly more memory for that $30 mark.
You can't expect to run phpBB3 with this amount of users and posts on a $30 per month shared hosting account.
I run a forum of a similar size and found shared hosts and VPS had problems. Running 2 forums one 1 dedicated server slowed both websites down and caused similar problems. I had to move the forum onto its own dedicated server.
At the end of the day, you get what you pay for and $30 pm will not get you far. Consider a dedicated server.
BTW, I have used Dreamhost and had nothing but problems - then again, maybe it was just a dud VPS. There tech support was below average.
