"EoFF" hasn't suffered any insane crashes since it started in um....1999(?), right? It'd be a shame to lose all the nice pages and pages of posts (spam).

I'm not sure, but from my experience 'renewed' boards tend not to last very long. Either veterans make it very anti-newbie, or people don't post as much. But what do I know right?

Yeah, I really see no point in the move, but that's probably because I run Firebird, have blocked ad servers in my host file and have a good connection. GameSquad has been good to us though.

Well not everyone has the luxuary of running Firebird.

Why not? It's free.

it's not like eoff is the only site that dumps huge numbers of horrible popups on unsuspecting IE users, but if you want to move somewhere and you know it won't screw up too badly, that's fine.

There is a difference between providing free hosting and paying the bills with popups and providing free hosting and getting rich on popups. If anyone deserves to get rich, it's me. And it'll be on text/banner ads.
