Forum Closure

A thought just occurred to me last night and it's a valid
concern. Let's say for whatever reason, that CreateAForum ceased
to exist and no longer had this Support forum and updates and
whatnot. For whatever reason, ya'll just walked away. Would that
directly affect those of us that are using the Forums on our
own? So if you "unglugged" on your end, will it affect our site
in anyway?
Yes, I'm aware I will get a "we will never leave CreateAForum"
response as it's the logical thing to say. I'm just going for a
"what-if" scenario here because my biggest concern is creating a
wealth of content with huge following only to find out that it
could end at any moment.
Okay. Resume what you were doing.
:)

Yes all your sites and everything would be gone. That is the
nature of the web something that google does recently when they
buy out websites they shut them down. Same thing happened with
geocities. If someone just walked away there would be nothing
that could be done. I myself have been doing this since 2005 so
far.

They would disappear with no trace of ever having existed or
just stop functioning?

CreateAForum is 6 years old? I did not know that. I thought this
was a new thing.

This is a new thing, but he started his other services
(SMFForFree) back in '05.

Just stick it to the top dogs and don't let them buy you guys
out so we can keep this running for a long time. ;D

Well your question is already answered above but running a good
server does cost a lot of money so donating and stuff will help
keep this service alive.

SMF For Free and Creataforum are two separate services, both run
by the same guy.
The forums on SMF for Free use the 1.* branch of the smf
software.
The forums on Createaforum use the 2.* branch of the smf
software.
