Honestly, I was naive may be I still am. I wanted a place in the internet where people can talk about various staff without excessive curse words and without meaningless bans. When I first made a website, it's just basic html stuff. Well, I was learning and I am experimenting things.

I never thought it would attract attention. It clicked but as I was using free web hosting, they took down the website without any message whatsoever. So, I have pestered my mom that I would like to go with premium hosting(Well, I am an Indian, so, we don't usually pay for our tuition and such here) . Anyway, she said it's fine. So, I have gone with the premium hosting (godaddy), after 15 days, because of some DDOS attack, everything fell apart. Well, getting more than 250+ posts would attract attention even towards a small community I guess.

After that, it was down for at least 15 days or so, we have lost all the members. Now, I am using cloudflare and it's fine but we barely get 45 posts these days. I hate to see the forum like that and the costs are quite high too.

My mom would want me to take down the website, but even that thought is making me sad. So, I am going to keep on running the forum.
This is my webmaster story.
Now, let's hear your stories everyone
