need help - urgently.

Hi a few days ago i launched a forum provided by proboards ( a free forum provider ). I will soon be launching my very own website and thought i will shift these forums to my web site, but the forums i am going to have on my new web site will be in PHPbb, and the forums on proboards dont allow backups. Now as my site may take about 2 months to get ready, i wanted to immidiately shift my forum to some free phpbb forum providing web site, as my forums are starting to get active, and new members are slowly joining in. Now if i switch over now, i will have to manually re-register all my users and also make the posts, but still as its in initial stages it can be done, but after 2 months from now, the no. of members and posts may both grow up, so i wont be able to manually do everything. Now i wanted to know is there a free phpbb provider, which will allow me to take a back up later ? so what else can i do in this situation ?

Thanks in advance.

i don't think there is a free phpbb that will allow that ... but i'm not 100% sure.

Why free? Get paid hosting, put Adsense on it, and make some money.

I tried using Ad Sense but I kept on getting Public Service Ad's,, I recomend ClickSor

well the free forums will be a temporary option, i will get my own site ready in 1 month, y i want to shift now is because the service i am using now doesn't provide a back up, so when i want to shift it would be a problem for me.

I can provide you free hosting with a phpbb forum that you can backup. Let me know if your interested.
