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.

                        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
