...when I had that trouble with DBM database, I ended up deleting, uploading, and chmoding nearly all of the DBM files.

I switched to MySQL since.

The problem now is...my site is pending deletion because it looks like Ikonboard is really resource heavy. Now I'm looking for a new host that can handle it.

If you have the money to spare switch over to vblletin, otherwise switch to phpbb.

Both ar emuch better. vBulleitn is the best but isn't free. phpbb is free and the best free forum software.

i wonder if phbb has an IB3 converter. i really don't want to lose my database.

You might be interested to check out their Community forum about the IB converter.
