Only if it is financially doable for you and not a lot of time or undo effort.
Both me and, I think, Lojozz secured domain names when LT went down as a backup if we didn't find a forum.
We'll follow you SP. do what you think works best for you and the site

Re: MEMBERS VOTE NEEDED ON MOVING FORUM!
I agree as long as it is not a financial burden go for it. It sounds like you have a plan going for how to get everyone moved over and as long as this site stays to let everyone know how to find the new site everything should be a lot easier than when LT went away.

Wow, not sure how I feel. Did I just get dumped by my girlfriend?
I like Stitch`s idea about challenging other forums.
I like the way this site is and would hate to lose what we already
have, but I see the merit in an easier dom name.
I`m on so much I really would not mind helping with the monies.
I`m not ready to vote yet but I would be agreeable with anything
SunnyP thinks is best for her and us( you must feel like jack).
One thing I would like to be considered is not only this forums
imediate future but its future after the show. If the new forum
could somehow be set up for future possibilities than I would
be all for it, just a thought.

Re: MEMBERS VOTE NEEDED ON MOVING FORUM!
Thanks for all the comments so far, its good to get some varying opinions 
IF we switch, its a good month or so away as it will take time to create a forum from phppb "nude" without all the bells and whistles we have here.....but I like a project lol, and it will be exactly like this one just with more features
Vincent....I definitely want to take the forum into the future after Lost ends, how that wil be done is something we have 2 years to figure out, but I do want to extend the shelf life and keep it going. Im in for the long haul and the best way to achieve that is with our own domain, hosting etc, and full and total control over the forum.
I understand why some people wouldnt want to move though, and I will take everyones thoughts and comments on board before making a decision

You talked me into it SunnyP.

Or better yet the cozy beds in othertown.

Re: MEMBERS VOTE NEEDED ON MOVING FORUM!
I wouldn't mind that that Chirpy. I'm sure with the 20 or thirty regular member on here the cost would be pretty small for each of us individually.

Re: MEMBERS VOTE NEEDED ON MOVING FORUM!
I am just now seeing this as, I have been busy the last few days.
I am for whatever SP and the moderators think is the best thing to do.
I am sure there must be some technical reasons for doing it, that I would not fully understand.

Re: MEMBERS VOTE NEEDED ON MOVING FORUM!
I like the donation thingy. A few bucks from each regular would prob pay for the site for the better part of the year and it is well worth it.
If you don't already have a paypal address then set one up SP. No need for you to carry all the costs yourself.

Re: MEMBERS VOTE NEEDED ON MOVING FORUM!
I appreciate all the suggestions for donations, it is something we could do....a paypal donate button with a counter of how much has been donated.....but I dunno....I have run a few forums over the years and have always been adamant that they should be 100% free to use.
But it warms my heart to know that people are willing to do that, very much so
While the voting is going on I am, in the meantime, investigating different hosting possibilities and tbh the cost for a package big enough to host this forum is minimal compared to say, hosting an interactive news website. Its a couple of quid a month at the most. We dont need that much space and if in the future we do, it can be upgraded.
Lets see how it goes

Re: MEMBERS VOTE NEEDED ON MOVING FORUM!
I like here. I like the company. So if the regular customers move, maybe I'll be following them. Maybe not. So whatever.
