This board looks nice. What is required on the server for installation other than PHP and MySQL ?

Will it be easy to move a board from one host to another should that be required ? Will all the users and posts remain intact ?

Thats about it. Nothing fancy needed.

Basically you will need a little bit of knowledge in managing MySQL database as well as basic HTML skills to do the templates editing.

Depends on what database the forum is using.

To be frank, the database you see here is migrated from www.sgwebhostingchat.com which I started 2 days ago.

What I do was to back up the database of the old forum using either the forum native backup function or using "phpmyadmin" to dump all the data into a file.

Next in the new forum, I created the new database name, but by using phpmyadmin, i empty all the tables and data of the new forum and "import" the old data.

It took me around 1 hour to figure out how to do it :)
