I have a question.

How long will we have phpbb2 available on forumotion? I signed up here because I'm very frustrated with the portal software in phpbb3. The site my forum is currently hosted on is going to force everyone to switch and all the styles available are very ugly and there is no portal mod available. I signed up with freeforum.ca and they're using the Stargate phpbb3 portal mod. It's terrible. I feel like I'm learning a programing language just trying to get it to work.

How long until you guys force the V3 switch on me? If I start building a site now will I lose all my hard work in a few months time?

I doubt Forumotion will ever delete existing phpBB2 forums. It'll be a long time until they even consider it.
