Message: <blockquote data-quote="CrypticSpider" data-source="post: 111150" data-attributes="member: 17">The cost is greatly variable. You must factor in the cost of a serverhost according to what "plan" you want, how much space/tech support, domain-name fees, etc etc, the list can be quite daunting. Just a transfer of ownership is a NIGHTMARE to go thru, should Josh sell you this forum. (highly unlikely)Therein lies the mistake that Josh made, when he set these forums up. He is the ONLY "master admin". Therefore, since he is so unavailable, the forums more or less fall into ruin from lack of upkeeping. One Admin CAN run one forum, but it's ideal to have at least ONE other one to back up for times he is not available. Now. Since he is so scarce, he actually needs TWO trust-worthy people to share admin duties, ideal if these 2 have server-level experience.. The ideal support this forum needs is 2 more admins with experience in SERVER-LEVEL work as well as forum - 2 "supermoderators" to take up some slack from the admins, and however many "moderators" one deems necessary.This IS a nice little forum, as well as the others Josh has. I know a lot of forums from the past that went down due to lack of care, upgrades, etc. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
