I purchased the 2009 hosting plan and renewed our domain name. I upgraded our Ordo hosting plan to the next level. This gives us the capability to host our own forum!

This forum works very good and is easy to maintain, however there are ads and banners that I wish we could either eliminate, or choose to place them based upon earned commissions.

I'm currently looking into software that can grab all of our posts and user info, and relay it to the new forum. In the event that this fails, we will simply have to migrate to the new forum, and slowly migrate our old data manually.

In addition to forum software, a flexible photo gallery is installed. It will give members the freedom to upload their own pics, and make comments on other photos.

There are a few other features too, but the prior 2 are the biggest.

It may take a week or so for this to get done. So far, it is a slow process.

This is awesome news...Have you given any thought to design, or theme?
sticking with red and black? Perhaps using lil sword and shield icons for buttons and such?

Not a whole lot of thought, but I have always wanted to put some sort of icon for each of our categories. I think I can do that with PHPBB.

I think I will still stick with Red & Black, since it is Ordo's colors. Of course, I could make different themes, and swap up the colors for certain occasions.

that would add to our cool factor :D

I was beginning to think that was not possible. 8-)
