Hey zakk, might I please beg that you use phpBB3? It's still not officially stable, in RC5, but it is really really stable and it's a lot more better featured, it has enhanced CAPTCHAs and stuff (<span style="font-style: italic;">
The spam bots were bypassing the CAPTCHAs on my phpBB2 installation!!</span>). Trust me, you can't go wrong. The only reason you wouldn't want to use it would be because it is still not OFFICIALLY stable, but it very much is, ask anyone on the forums, IRC channel, etc. Honestly, I think you'd fall in love with it. I just installed it on my project's site, had it replace phpBB2.
<br><br>As for not being able to use WordPress, I don't know why you would want it (<span style="font-style: italic;">Not bashing it, I like it and use it</span>), but what's the problem, I mean if you want it, why won't it work or what? But anyways, I guess I mean icculusnews shouldn't be a problem, but I may be wrong.
<br><br>People who say DreamHost sucks suck, there are far more that say it's the best evar. They sometimes have problems, but they solve them quickly, and, well, they just have that nice 'not sold-out corporate' google feeling.
<a href="http://www.dreamhoststatus.com">www.dreamhoststatus.com</a> if you ever get into problems with your hosting, and in the dream host control panel you can get an rss feed of it tailored to your specific server so you can get news on the fly on your hosting.
<br><br>As for needing money, I feel you. You can get a direct-to-paypal-for-hosting button at <a href="https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=home.donations&">https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=home.donations&
</a> . It lets people donate money to your hosting using paypal, the difference is they know that it's going directly towards hosting and not to some other thing you might use the money for. Also, I don't mind the ads, honestly, I mean you have to make money somehow, and I'll be sure to click them whenever I get the chance. I prefer something not overly obtrusive though, like AdSense. You can get phpBB mods that insert AdSense every once in a while, if you would have gotten WordPress, integrating AdSense would have been very easy. I mean it's not like it's hard in the first place, but it would be a much nicer experience. You could also ad AdSense to like the title page of the wiki or something, at the very bottom, or on the left margin would be best possibly.

So we're moving <a href="http://ioquake3.org">ioquake3.org</a> to dreamhost entirely.<br>This will have a number of pros and cons, but the choice is made.:<br><br>Pros:<br>1) No commits in the svn list.<br>2) There will be: An Official Wiki
<br>3) There will be: Real Forum Software (phpbb, complain now and tell me<br>what else to use, please, I know nothing about free/OSS forum stuff)<br>4) Whatever else you ask for<br>5) SVN is staying on i.o<br>6) I can give developers their own e-mail accounts, and can host
<br>sub-projects easier with their own sub-domains including SVN ((Though it<br>won't be on i.o for them (Reserve yours now!))<br>7) lisp-cgi support<br><br><br>Cons:<br>1) None of this will be working properly, immediately.
<br>2) There won't be a Ryan around in case I get hit by a bus.<br>3) Some people think dreamhost sucks, I'm willing to leave that as a<br>possibility, so I'll back up the site as it was.<br>4) I don't really have the time to fix the site to work with WordPress
<br>(or anything that isn't icculusnews).<br>5) I'm going to have to beg for money for hosting, or put up some kind<br>of advertisements. Please tell me which is less appealing to you so I'll<br>avoid it.<br>--
