I think I will have to face up soon to moving to a new server which is already set up with a new site name/address, as the database is growing by the day and will all have to be downloaded to my PC then uploaded to the new server ... plus a copy of the phpBB software which I have to master during the process!!

I do want to avoid the adverts route to prosperity (?) also!
