I don't understand why these forums don't operate their own forums on their own servers independent of outside control? Can someone explain what the advantages are to going with cocksuckers like Godady, what is it they offer that is so attractive? I know nothing of how these big forums work but I do know that years ago lots of forums ran themselves. Does saidit rely on on an outside platform? I wouldn't think so.

Every server is hosted somewhere. You can't own your own server farm if you are just a site owner. It's like having to own a farm so you can cook your own recipes.
