Ikonboard is very resource intensive, and paid hosts have now disallowed it. I do think they could have given you a chance to back up the files though...that was mean.

Yes, i agree. I have a good bbs script and the fuction same as Ikonboard but its also can running under Netfirms, check this: MCity Music Station (http://mcity6.netfirms.com) (Chinese Edition).

jhwy, if you want this bbs script, i can translate to english for you. FREE OF CHARGE!!! :D

Apparently if you had setup your file permissions as chmod 777, your files may have been deleted by a recent issue with the Apache webserver software. Chmod 777 basically gives everyone full access to your files!

Thats why you have to be extra careful with permissions.
Use chmod 755

I have my ikonboard 2.18 forum there. Sometimes the forum goes down, but it returns the next day. I´m really trying to get rid of ikonboard 2.18 to another one with php. I have problems converting the files.

I used to host a Yabb board CGI version there...and it always says "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded"...it never got deleted until I deleted it myself and got a PHP/MySQL board hosted elsewhere.

Now I'm moving to a paid host... :)

I have a friend who hosts his YaBB there. He says it's pretty reliable, but you have to turn off the images to survive on the bandwidth they give you. It's enough for 70+ members though.
