Um if you move to a different host I won't be able to be a member anymore... proboards is the only host that has a mobile app and I very rarely have access to a computer

I honestly feel that you should do what you feel is best for the forum. If that means moving, then so be it. It's probably the best idea and an idea that will keep you from losing any more of your sanity.

i'm gonna have to redo the entire thread tracker list. i love love you guys, and don't make this be part of your choice - but i can't promise i'll follow. i won't hate you or anything. i just can't promise anything. my test site is pb, i do all my posts there - i don't want to make a 2nd test site all together. i won't be able really help as much as i can with stuff around the site because i don't know the platform and don't have a lot of time to relearn it. and the way i do my posts now on my test site is the best way to keep track of them all and reply with templates, and be able to access it anywhere i am - not have them on word or anything. i've spent years on my method - and i don't want to create a whole new test site, or a whole new method. again - don't do it for me, do what you gotta do. just don't be too disappointed if i don't follow. i dunno if charming would either, if i didn't. jox isn't around a whole lot anyways (so probably wouldn't make much of a difference), but i don't see her going unless i did, and even if i did i could see her bailing. and alice can't because she uses the app.

I am very familiar with jcink and how to implement special codes that will still allow for the use of your [*center][/center] capabilities and toying around with templates to get them to still look the same and function the same if they're not too difficult so I'm available for helping as well. Believe me, I know the fear of moving from one host to another since I've done it four times. I started out on the original version pf PB, moved to IF, then to jcink and then moved one forum to icyboards just so I could learn the different software. I'm hoping they get their issues fixed here so this doesn't have to happen, but it's always good to have that backup plan just in case.

At this time we are currently trying to test things out and get our layout/codes etc in place. I will definitely stalk you Leroy/Grumpy. Oscar "Oz" Diggs is amazing and working on things as well. If any of you staff members want the link ahead of time let me know. Like I said we shall see how we feel about it once we have things where they need to be. @snow I will do my best to accommodate your codes, and if I cannot Grumpy or Oz seem to know how to make them work. To Alice, I am sorry about your situation, but just like a business I have to consider everything as a whole. The Mad Hatter said she is able to post to JCINK from her phone.

JCink allows for custom BBcode, which makes it able to host any and all forms of templates, including those designed for proboards. It is also one of the few forum hosts that allow HTML which gives not only staff but members as well more control over their templates and can keep things simple.

and for the record: www.google.com/#q=how+often+does+jcink+servers+go+down%3F+jcink goes down just as much - just look at the good results for "how often does jcink servers go down". it's a lot of work and trouble for zero benefit. it's the same thing. a site connected to a server, hosted by a free place. even something you pay for will be connected to servers that will not be 100% reliable.

The point there is, jcink works to get any issues resolved faster than most others. When he had a power outage that took down the servers, he went over the top to get the genny working so he could hook the servers up to it and restore the forum services. Not that it will change your mind, but just for the extended record since most of those posts were made during a series of DDoS attacks that were afflicting many forum hosts.

i am going to make it super easy for everyone because i love you guys. i'm going to go ahead and relinquish my characters and my admin position. i want to keep rping OUAT and i will find a way to make that happen - but i don't want to get in the middle. alice and i came from a situation just before OUAD that a site we'd called home for 7 years was shut down over some b.s.
i don't want to be the person that holds that admin back from doing what they want, and everyone resent me later. and i just really don't want to redo all of my code, refind every single url for every single thread for the tracker, for what is basically no reason at all other then proboards has been a little buggy lately so move to another server that is probably going to be just as buggy from time to time. i'd rather just be writing. i'm sorry to everyone whose threads i did not get to, and that we talked about it, and didn't get it do it!
i do request that you give me credit for the thread tracker code and CoC code if you continue to use it. be well guys! <3

Belle French I do understand what you're saying about having to treat the site like a business, and that you can't just make a decision, or not make a decision, just because of one person, and I respect that. I also understand that for whatever reason, mainly from what I'm gathering its because proboards has been buggy or something, most of you want to move the site. And I don't expect anyone to change that opinion because of my problem. But the fact remains that I can't post on any host besides proboards, at least not without going to a shiz load of trouble and giving my self migraine after migraine. Proboards is the only host with a mobile app, and because of my current real life circumstances, I have to stick with them. This really sucks because, as @snow mentioned, we recently had to go through a situation where a site that we were on for years, her for seven as she said, and me for 4 years, shut down literally out of nowhere all because of drama and bs that could have been avoided. Losing that site pretty much destroyed me, and losing another site, this one, mere months after losing that one, will really really suck. I've grown so attached to this site, and to all of you, and if it comes to it I'm gonna miss you all so much. But if the decision is made that the site WILL be moving, I'm going to have to relinquish my characters as well. I won't officially do that until a decision is made about the move, but I just wanted to let you all know where I stand...

O.k. these are my thoughts on the matter.
Jcink.
- Very easy to navigate, set up and manipulate. I personally prefer it. - Many people (rper's) prefer it over Proboards. - You can add mods to the forum that only have access to the coding and not give them admin access. - Others know how to code JCink vs. Proboards. - It's a lot like Invisionfree in it's navigation and set up on the admin side. - The TOS is more lenient than Proboards - We may gain more members. - All accounts can be linked together to one main account.
Proboards
- I get help from their help site much faster than Jcink (This is so much the better. Sometimes we don't get answers for a few days with Jcink. I find that disturbing.) - They have a tagging system - To switch accounts, it takes you to a different page for you to choose the account you'd like to log into. - They have an app for your phone.

Like I said. I see a lot of this "drama" from people being unwilling to trust me and unwilling to "learn" new things even though we were going to add an entire custom database to please these people.
I will miss you Snow, but you've got to do what you have to do and I have to do what I have to do for the better of the site as a whole. I have put it off this long because of you. And no it wasn't down for 15 minutes. It has been on and off for the last few weeks. And I asked about the IP in the support thread while the login issues were going on and the thread was locked without my question being addressed.
I have also heard that they lay claim to our writing per ToS. This makes me very uncomfortable.
