There will be a userboard either way. The key is whether Harris allows me ftp access to the database. I see no reason why they shouldn't. It would take the headache away from their hosting it, and allow one of the most integral and important parts of AC intact.
And, in doing so, take a negative and turn it into super positive with its current users.
Said in plain English, I already have the hosting company, a free gold license for life and a host admin to take care of all the details. This, again, is already underway. All Harris has to agree to is to give my host admin access to a few files. This is the same host admin who upgraded the database when we had all of those issues with saving posts, etc. and stopped a crash over a weekend.
