| Well as most of you can see we have a few ads at the top of our forum. It seems that the company has sold out and now we have to look at this crap for the rest of the forums life. I am not very forum savy and need to know if we can migrate the forum to a different host and keep what is here. Anyone that can help please do so, I cant take this crap. | |

| Adblock Plus is your friend. My girlfriend is a web designer we might be able to help migrate, However she says just turn them off. If you pay for hosting nobody can just change your site. Are you using forumotion? Prolly where the ads are coming from. Look into hostgator or webhostingpad. Look around for site backup utilities. Depending on your access you should be able to migrate fairly easily. | |

| Have you tried just calling your host and asking them "wtf?" yet? I mean, what's the point of paying for hosting if there's ads. There are plenty of free ad-laden hosts out there. But yeah, most folks won't notice as they have an ad blocker. | |

| I can help ha. Well I own a web hosting company. This forum is built on PHPBB which means it will likely run on a MySql database which in most cases, are transferable. Ive got lots of experience with pushing PHPbb to new hosts. Thought Id pitchin my own word. You can look at our shared hosting plans if you wanted, www.meteorpages.netPretty competitive prices. If you would like to talk on the phone, give me a jingle. 307.899.2868 John King | |

| ^^ John is legit. Working with him would probably be easier than trying to migrate it yourself. | |
