    Because Hostgator hates us for being too awesome.


    I talked with them a bit, made some changes they suggested, and begged them to let us back up, and they have.

    *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing Hostgator.

    YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Glad we are back up, but they said they removed all restrictions, that means chat could come back, right? But we aren't doing that because it eats up too much bandwidth or somethin, rite?

    Yeah, I think we COULD bring back chat... But I am not going to do that just yet. Going to see if they shut us down again without it first.

    Why are we still with hostgator again?

    Seriously?

    I mean... zetaboards. Or something.

    Because no way would a free host like Zetaboards let us get away with 5 million page views a month. Our forum would be suspended.

    Not to mention, we would lose all kinds of customizations.

    We need money for Palmer so he can buy SUPER BADASS HOSTING.

    Like it'll host events, parties, toast, and websites.

    Screw that, I'll create my own hosting. With hookers! And blackjack! In fact, forget the hosting!

    Palmer,
    You should just switch to FreeForums.
    It's safer, Faster, and not as bad as hostgator.

    MBB uses FreeForums, it can't handle 5 million views a month, plus Palmer would have to pay for no ads, AND to get the adress to be forums.modretro.com, it's like an extra $15 a year. So yeah, Hostgator is better. I tried using FreeForums, got 250 people on at once, it crashed for three days. :dah:
