Good to know there's transition options. We're going to try this for a while and see how it goes. I didn't want to commit to a hosting contract if the forum doesn't get used. If things go well, I'll look at options again in six or eight months. It's only for local (non-national) fraternity, so there's only perhaps a few thousand potential bbs members in the world, so I don't expect membership to ever really get above a few hundred.

I've had the forum running (with no real use) for about two weeks and haven't had any bot issues yet. Here's hoping. Thanks again for all the help guys.
