Due, thanks!

Those are wonderful alternatives.
I only broached that subject because nobody really knows what this outcome from this bottom feeder will be and Bob cannot simply bear a bunch of costs alone.

I would not fault him one iota for saying that it simply is not worth the hassle or the costs and pull the plug. I, like several others on this board and Rant would like to possibly continue the board in another location.
You guys are amazing to me and I truly enjoy what each person brings to the table. I think that is what makes this entire group from here and the other board special.

the best to you,
micro...

did anyone ever look at PHPBB?

Oh yes indeed.

There are many places where you can set up a free message board environment without having to mess with the phpBB software or hosting services. Most offer all the bells and whistles that one expects of a contemporary forum--rich text formatting, embedded pix and vids, RSS, etc...(even private messaging and personal blogs with YUKU).

Here's a small sampling:
http://www.yuku.com/home/learnmore/
http://www.boardhost.com/features/
http://www.setbb.com/chat-and-forum-features.html
http://www.phorum.org/free-php-message-board-phorum.php
http://www.big-boards.com/

BUT the issue of copyright liability remains and the content-chasing lawyers will come after the owner of any forum they consider in violation of copyright.

As a (now-retired) 'basher', I carry a $2MM rider on my homeowner's policy to cover me for inintended legal consequences of my posting, but I'm not sure if it covers copyright issues.
