Hi

>One of my favorite sites msg board is hosted at
>www.hostboard.com and i think there might be a future
>dawning there for GAFF.

Unfortunately, their Terms of Service say otherwise:
<a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.hostboard.com/terms.shtml">http://www.hostboard.com/terms.shtml</a>
You'll see that they don't want adult material, and that's the most probable reason the Invisionfree GAFF board went down.

We're looking for a posting board that doesn't have such a clause in their TOS. www.ezboard.com and www.aimoo.com also has this clause, by the way. It really looks like a normal standard for forums to exclude adult material of any kind.

Actually, has anyone thought of looking into boards that aren't US-based - such as on forum servers in European countries? It could be possible that the TOSes would be a little different. The only thing would be that the admin stuff would happen in German, Spanish, French or whatever, and obviously, that could be a bore. But if anyone's interested, I can look around in French-speaking and maybe German-speaking sites.

>Another host is phpnuke.com which I also think is quite good.

PHPnuke is an open-source PHP code, which means that you need to have your own website with PHP support to be able to run it. At this time, the GAFF team doesn't have a website to use a script on. If they did, I think that the problem would be solved pretty fast.
