Using Free Hosting Service for an Official Commounity Forum

[gisoft]

I have developed a forum using SMF open source software for a request from my university. We need to have an official forum to exchage educational data between students and lecturers.


During the first year the forum will be used by final year students only (51 members).

Can I use this service to host it?

Yes, you may use our forum here, but beware of high resource usage. As long as it comply's with x10's TOS and AUP you can do it.

Can I get more information, saying what you really mean by High Resource Usage? How do you meisure it?

If it's a small forum with minimal plugins it should be OK.
