When the anti-hack is done.
We expect to move the forum within a week.

I believe instead of using one of these unreliable host chat-boxes, you should instead acquire a more reliable chat, like Tinychat, Xat, or another. Look them up. I'm sure they will not go down as often as these host chats. They'd most likely have a lot more customization to them as well since they are chat-dedicated. Look around the Admin Panel and see if you can't post a custom-box, or message the host customer service and see if you can. Would most likely be a lot better than the current chat now.
Just go to Http://www.freestylechat.tk
When u want to talk to someone..
Xat? Tinychat? More reliable? lol.
Okay, look.
Xat, Tinychat, etc. are hosted together with thousands of other chats on third-party dedicated servers.
And, they suck (the chat software - not the servers)
While we use custom vB chat-mods, custom chats integrated into vBulletin which use the resources of our server instead of third-party crap.
Means we have more control and can customize them they way we want. We aren't bound to anything like tinychat, xat or other crappy chats.
But HostGator complains and removes them saying "You're wasting our resources".
Btw. We have purchased a new server (Business Pro Package) at a Nr1 webhost, inmotion. They are rated better than HostGator, hopefully we will have more luck with them.
We will move the forums to the new server soon.
My first assumption was the host, then I seen in big red letters that it was the host.
"Your scripts are wasting our resources"
and even worse: "You should get one of our dedicated servers for your scripts"
Like we need a 250 USD / month dedicated server for a chatbox.
A dedicated server is what we use for Freestyle GunZ. We even used it to host 3 games at a time, but not to host a tiny chatbox, lmao.
Yea the forum is hosted on a shared server of Hostgator.
This means there are more sites hosted on the server where the forum is currently hosted on.
The chatbox, top 5 stats and other things are requesting data from the database all the time which takes up a lot of resources.
