Can I suggest an optional paid membership? Doesn't have to have any perks. Might be annoying to code, I dunno. But I'd happily pay some $ per year to help keep the site going.

Awesome to hear this. I could care less about what the forum looks like, honestly. One reason I stopped posting is the really slow performance, it just makes it really hard to use the current forum. A change to something different will be worth it, it can't possibly be worse than this version of Vbulletin, but it can certainly be a lot better!

Also glad to hear. I started a Jeep forum about a year ago with Vbulletin and man you aren’t kidding with the shitty support. I found it easier to get support (and pay a little extra) from the hosting company I was working with. That being said, I killed it last month because the time spent figuring out things that should have been an easy support ticket with Vbullentin was a waste of time.

James,
Thanks for all your hard work and effort on this. As a former Director of Information Technology I totally understand the difficulties of migrating to new vendors, platforms and databases. Even with careful planning and execution Murphy sometimes rears his ugly head. Success will come.1990 M3

We can explore a paid membership or donation dealio, however, let's get everything migrated over first.
Update on where we are at. Few bumps in the road on the migration of the test database, however, we have corrected those issues and attempting a new test migration. Currently at 17% and plugging away.
It's looking like when we move we will have a several week outage due to the sheer amount of data we have. Our plan is to make the forum read-only during this time so data is available versus being offline.
More to come.
