        I have set up forum at temporary hosting
        http://forum.blackboxframework.org/
        
        
        I am suggesting to move there for discussion and voting.
        
        
        Later this forum have to move in new hosting and I suggest to continue it.

                Chris,
                Looks decent.
                Without more experience, I have no objection.

                                I think the basic question about hosting is what do we get there, and what
                                do we need to do.
                                
                                For instance, I don't think that a standard webspace without anything
                                would do any good.
                                
                                We need a forum. Either the host provides the software we need, or we have
                                to have a dedicated server so that we can install our own software.

                        A couple of years ago I investigated a number of forum systems and eventually chose phpBB.
                        
                        https://www.phpbb.com/
                        
                        I have been using it for a couple of years for the Astrobe forum:
                        
                        http://www.astrobe.com/forum
                        
                        Apart from the usual forum features my requirements included:
                        
* Easily post code snippets with original indentation
                        
* The user can specify which sections / topics they want to receive notifications for
                        
* Ability to post screenshots and files as attachments
                        
* Good spam blocking features (registrations and messages). The Astrobe forum is currently detecting and rejecting about 100 spam registration attempts a week and not a single spam message has got through.
                        
                        It took a day or so to setup the forum and requires an hour or two a week to maintain it.
                        
                        Regards,
                        Chris
