I had similar problems with my server too. Ask your host to change that for you, or to give you php.ini file where you can change that value.

php.ini needs to be in directory where the php script is running (it probably is admincp (or if you changed that name, the name you changed it into)). Set time for execution to 60 or more seconds. After that, you can remove php.ini from that dir, or just restore values, or keep it there, whatever.

You could probably use php.ini I got from my host. Just find this:

"max_execution_time"

And remember what you change there. And that it's valid only in directory where it is, no subdir or on your complete server. You can have different configs in different directories.

EDIT: I just saw the path. You need to put it in /home/public_html/forum/arcade/functions/ directory, that's where the script is running. If that doesn't help, try put changed php.ini in admincp, or even in other possible directories.
