Just a note to let you all know that the site will be migrating to the new Xenforo platform this week - on either Tuesday or Wednesday, Jan 14th or Jan 15th. Please see the Migration Status page mentioned below for the very latest update on this .
I am planning to close the site to users roughly 12-18 hours prior to the start date above to run backups and make preparations.
I'm hoping that if everything proceeds within reasonable time frame, the site should be fully migrated before Thursday - however I will need sometime to configure additional pages and settings - so it's likely that the site may not be back up until Saturday AM on 01/17 at the earliest - Sunday PM at the latest.
I have secured the assistance of a developer who has done a bunch of these migrations, and the new platform we're going to - Xenforo - has grown much since I did the initial test migration back in Jan 2017 - and has a lot more features, etc.
Sorry for such short notice - on Thursday I was doing some testing and was talking with these developers about the migration and thought I would not be able to get on their schedule - but it seems the (comparatively) small size of our site is actually a benefit to us - as they can fit us in mid-week.
So, off we go - aka - '...if it's going to happen, it's going to happen out there..."!
Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.
