Server Migration -- January 20, 2023

So that was quite a bit bumpier than I was expecting, but we have successfully migrated the Inside: SereneScreen forum to new server hardware. There shouldn't be that daily downtime anymore and things should run faster.

In the next 18 months, I'm going to have to make a decision about what to do with this forum. We're on very old unsupported software that none of the new hardware supports. The options are to:
  • close the forum
  • switch to free software which would work about as well as this software
  • switch to modern software which starts at $160
I hate to bring this up, but I figure it's better than pretending everything is OK and then a sudden shutdown.
