As for your question, it doesn't make too much sence.
What's the difference between a smffy.com forum, and your own webserver? I think you can answer that yourself.
First off, it's "sense". Sorry it was bugging me.
Second, I was more or less agreeing with you on how it would be no differen't, but again I ask why switch if it's only temporary?
1. I saw that typo immediately after I posted. I didn't change it because, well, I don't care.
2. Depends if you want an actual website when the server comes out, and not a smffy sub-domain forum. From there it would just be moving the site to it's own domain.
OK, I see where you are going with this. It would be a good idea. If I'm understanding correctly, the only thing that would change would be the domain name?
