Na.This forum isn't extremely busy, I know that if I couldn't host it, I could hook them up with a much btter deal.
If somehow I did get domain, I'd find the way.
Hell I currently have some space from a hosting company FOR FREE that is about 200GB of bandwidth just for hosting large files.
I know people :)

Then why don't you go start a forum?
You're like a little kid. The admins say there's high traffic, you say there's not, the admins say there's high traffic, you say there's not, etc.
You argue like a child. Do you have statistical information about bandwidth and visits to this site? Back up your claim.
And how do you know that you can get them a better deal? Have you talked to their accounting department? Have you checked to see how much they shell out for THIS SITE ALONE?
And go read my response to the other thread where you're rambling on about this. They're a business. They employ people and try to make a profit.
That's why they have ads.
Man...:mad:

www.genmay.com
They are the 3rd largest VBull forum on the internet. They average a 900GB a month transfer and probably spend maybe $2-300 a month for 2 dedicated servers (1 for database, 1 for images)
They have probably 10 new posts every 5 seconds, they have over 4 million posts and they have been around for only about a year. This site generates NO WHERE near that. That is why I estimated a max of 100GB of bandwidth this forum would use (though I am probably wrong, I suck at ballpark figures)
This forum does no where near that. The admin's high bandwidth idea must be alot less than that, and they need to give accurate figures. If this forum does 100GB a month, hopefully they're paying ALOT lower than genmay (for 100GB of transfer, maybe $17 a month(I was quoted by a hosting company I know and trust, very reliable))
And I already started my own forum, however my website is not complete and I haven't finished the skin FOR the forum, so it sits as is in the default IPB skin ( www.binaryidiot.com/forum )
