It was a telephone conversation but they basically said that they had looked at the cgi folder and apparently there is too much information in that folder. Their idea was to split the forums up and to have their own cgi folders to make the processing of posts etc quicker.

They say that the amount of space they give for a cgi-bin folder is up to the Microsoft standards and that this is apparently the same as you would get anywhere else.

Obviously, I don't want to have to start changing the forum too much now that it's been set up and being used.
