In short, don't panic if the site is unreachable for a period in the next 5-7 days!

Tentatively planned for March 18, 2022

In order to keep the forum running smoothly, we've decided to upgrade the server that this site lives on. Since the server is so much newer and better, we have to upgrade the forum software to a newer version as well.

Steps:
1. Disable the forum (you'll see a message and be unable to reach the forum)
2. Copy files to new server
3. Point the domain name to the new server

Once your DNS provider updates the new server information, you'll see the forum again, and that means the transfer is finished and you are good to go!

Finally! This antique version of phpBB is frustrating, compared to current.

Will native attachments/hosting be in the mix? And auto-resize of images?

Please configure a template that uses BLACK text, rather than trendy-but-hard-to-read GREY.

Also, get a better security certificate. I use Let's Encrypt -- 'cuz it's free and fairly easy -- but anything that stops FireFox from complaining is fine:

 
Wow your DNS servers are fast :)

Yes, I am still making some small adjustments. (I've made the text darker)
