I have come accross a file limit before; IMO you should transfer to a more serious host; restricting sites on files is horrendous for an established site...

Though moving to a MySQL based forum (Like UBB.Threads) from a flat file based forum (Like UBB.Classic) is the first step, but likely your host will have a MySQL size limit in place as well.

Do you need Forum Install or Upgrade Services?
