I have an idea of buying a domain like

Code:

Alan-International.com
Alan-International.net (or something else)

to be used as the domain of this forum, so more of Alan fans can find this website :3

there's a donation function available in Forumotion system, I'm will to donate if this idea is agreed.

post your idea, comment or ask anything :)

just a suggestion ^^.

I moved your thread since this is not really related to alan.

The thing I didn't know about Forumotion is that you can't get the forum database from them, so if I start a new forum on a paid hosting site, the forum would have to start all over.

I thought about doing this, but then I thought it wasn't worth it since it's a lot of money that I can't provide and not many members are active.

And the thing about buying a domain name through Forumotion is that you still don't have total control over everything. If you break their forum guidelines, they can delete your forum without warning. That to me, is not worth spending money just for a domain name~

It would be nice to make an exception for domain option. Like tumblr and wordpress (free version), you can add your own domain (bought from anywhere.).

Like my website's domain is from GoDaddy and it's connected to a different server.

Oh well. :/
