Hi Guys,
Headed over to here from XBox forums. I think when I was active in xbox forums, few members from there were discussing about getting new forums online for xbox.
Finally I can see this cool active place but I personally feel it should be self hosted forum as this free one would create issues when the forum member size will increase. And at that time, it would create problems in importing forum data to self-hosted one.
I am not sure if the admins here are technically good with installation or not but my personal suggestion would be having a self-hosted forum. May be free ones like SMF or paid ones like Vbulletin.
Just my 2 cents. Do let me know if you guys need help with hosting, setup etc.. (obviously no charges)
cheers

proboards offers a pretty easy to use service that n00bs like me can understand and setup. scalability was not a top priority when 360indians was established, and you are right -- exporting this forum to a phpBB/vbulletin database is not possible. but i've seen forums with over 10,000 members running successfully on the proboards' servers.

ps: thanks for your offer.

If that's the case then cool, as long as there have been no issues with high traffic, we wont have to shift
