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
