Zimbolt?

So a guy on TinyChan had Offerd up some some hosting and Nega told me about it so that guy and me are talking about what his hosting is like via email.
This could be good. If its his own machine that he is running the server from than it would be easy him to modify the htaccess files or whatever to get TinyBBS running on it.
On the other hand there is no way to carry over any current topics and IDs. I realize that IDs don't really matter in ATBBS 1.0 but the topics mean a lot.
But even if we DO have to forgo the topics, it not like it would be hard to start them again, so its really not that bad once you think about it.
For those of you who don't know what TinyBBS is like, go here. Its the main site, click "demo" to try it out.

In other news I have not heard from host guy at all since the last post here about him getting hurt. I know he was on a lot of medication but I'm kinda worried.

Tweaks.

I changed the image file size limit to 2mbs and made thumbnails a little bigger. I've been unable to find a host that is A: not a faggot and B: will work with our software.
The first host would have been great but they made certain htaccess stuff not allowed so the software would not work on it. And HostGuy and Whoreos were unable to setup the software on another one.
I've been looking around and come up with nothing. I'm getting sick of promising new software and not being able to go through with it just because we can't find a better host.
So I'm going to see about setting up the new software on our normal byethost account. Even if the board is still worksafe and we still have to watch out for the taboo words, I may still be able to give you guys the new software.
Though I doubt we would be able to keep all the old threads...we would probably have to reformat the whole database and start from scratch.

I want this to be a community decision, what do you guys think?

My reply:

"Holy shit dude! I'm sorry! Is it bad? How did you crash into the car?

Also, is it bad that I lol'd at how your typing gets progressively gets worse towards the end of your message?"
