Www.freebb.com Taken Down? Why did they shut down?

[Cain 0]

Hey. Recently, I had noticed that the forum that my site uses has ceased to work. We used a phpBB board, because we preferred the setup and styles that it offered. I did not host it myself to make sure that I did not have extra and unnecessary bandwidth or disk space usage; we used the host http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (a site suggested at the https://www.phpbb.com/ website). Well as it turns out, not only is our forum down, but it also appears that the http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ site is also shut down. I would reallly like to continue using a phpBB forum without having it hosted using my space so I was wondering if anyone knew what happened to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and perhaps an alternative option that I could use. I greatly appreciate your help.

Well their could be a million reasons why but most of them are gone due to the fact their not a reason posted on the website why it's down. So most likly a legal issue or they ran out of money. But other then that couldn't Tell you.

Yep, it looks that freebb.com is down...
I don't know if you tried before, but http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is a very good alternative. They offer quality service but I think they will put some google ads. Anyways, if you prefer that somebody else host your forum, you should check it out.

Cheers!

In the past, I have had a forum hosted free at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ which has since been replaced by a phpbb hosted on my account here at the trap. Only reason I left was because the trap forum allows me to do backups. Otherwise the forum would still be at forummates.Good Luck in your hunt for a free bb site.
