Just something I'd like the administrators to think about;
At the moment, you offer a free service, or a service where you can pay to remove ads.
But for people who's forums are becoming popular, and would like to "expand their empire", maybe you can offer a more expensive "professional hosting plan" - no ads, own domain, maybe the possibility to add your own ads.
I, for one, would probably take advantage of this if it was offered; you've hooked us in with your free forum hosting, the people who now have popular forums are kinda stuck on CreateMyBB because you don't allow export. I know this is something that's been discussed in the support forum, and you've said that if we want to export our database, we have to pay. That's only fair. But baybe you could just allow us to just pay you for proper hosting, instead, so we don't need to go elsewhere?
I guess paying to remove ads is pretty close to proper hosting, but if you included, say, FTP access to upload our own icons etc. and permission to run our own advertising etc. then I'd be happy to pay a reasonable price for it and stay with CreateMyBB.
