As a result, we had to rename your script /home/robkam2/public_html/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php to /home/robkam2/public_html/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php.disabled
Please check your scripts are optimized and up to date. We would suggest to please look into the script's functionality and update it so such issues should not reoccur.
If you require a higher usage then allowed on shared servers you might want to try a dedicated plan.

so what'd I do?

typical of some hosting companies

they are trying to push you to a higher usage plan

move to mindraven would be my recommend

What Sirdude said. They are saying that you have a very active forum.

Bah, jerks. didn't think it was all that crazy. could it be a certain feature draining things or something...? Maybe since I recently switched to a redirected add-on domain..?

Those options aside, what's mindraven monthly looking like nowadays.

to note: i AM using an older version. I honestly don't remember - I think 7.2 or 7.3. I'm at the hospital now via iPhone so not the easiest to check. However, my board is an iteration or two behind in the 7 chain. Not sure if that'd contribute at all here.

Mindraven with my affiliate link as full disclosure

Why are they using php4?

Being a version or two behind would not contribute to this, by the way.
