here's the thing . . .
someone else OWNS/PAYS that account
the primary (but in effectual and non-existant admin)
who gave me the site info and the x host and said 'go play',
and i no longer want to be under that jurisdiction,
as i said, it's complicated and has to do with personality conflicts,
but as the BBS was my design, and i don't want to part with the community i've built,
i am taking the show on the road.
and i DID ask infopop about solutions,
so please don't chide me,
their suggestion was to pay them $599
for a very basic reverse import of Members, Posts, & Forums
or to solicit the help of some of you nice coders here,to see if there was a way some of you have already figured on.
they also explained i would need to KEEP the existing .x account optherwise:
"if you cancel the hosting account that most of the existing graphics will be broken if they are linkedto your sites graphics or contain links to our directories on an invalid account."
just another way to keep me paying the monthly host fee,
which the owner, that is to say, person currently paying the monthly host fee, has intended to let lapse after this month.
so i am in a quandary,
i want full control of this thing
and i that means learning some new tricks,
i'm up for it.
at this point, i'm willing to try anything.
