Idea for site improvement

At the risk of being banned for suggesting improvements, I have a suggestion. I subscribe to a lot of forums, and all of the ones with large memberships use forum software called vBulletin. It's what TBN uses, for instance. If you do a google search for "vbulletin hosting" you'll see that packages start around $5/month. A lot of the forums I'm on do fundraising drives, or get members to take turns sponsoring a month. That and google adwords apparently covers the cost.

It's something to think about. What happens to a lot of sites is that by the time they realize they've outgrown proboards, there is so much content online that migrating everything is almost an impossible job. If you look at the archives of both CTOA and TBN, they've both gone through migrations where they effectively tossed everything before a certain date. Why not start out where you'd like to end up?

If current trends continue, in a few years everything will be manufactured in China. By then, the term "Chinese Tractor" will be redundant, like saying "tree wood" or "water ice." CTW needs to be prepared for this growth!
