some host may not have mySQL but MOST host are banning flat file forums daily. face it, flat file forums are becoming less used every day. ubb.t may have a database and it may take off. but infopop is not looking at the real issue. users are moving away from them more and more every day. i give ubb.classic 2-3 more years if infopop dosent put a database behind it. but the way i see it. soon they will stop developing it and make us all "upgrade" to one of their newer porducts

what is the "real" issue? :rolleyes: You have no valid proof that "MOST host are banning flat file forums daily." That would mean all hosts banned it in the first week. There are thousands of web hosts out there, name 20 that have banned ubb.classic...
waiting...
didn't think you could either.
ubb runs fine on most well-configured hosts run by competent individuals. If you want a $5-10/month host that stacks 200-300 sites on one server... then you really do get what you paid for. Your blessed little vb will not run well on that host either. Why would anyone pay $200+ for forum software and not spend a little for decent hosting?
