Long term plan for the LinuxCNC forum

There has recently been a large effort to try and upgrade the forum from the old software it's currently running.

This has revealed that such a migration is no small task and also apparent storage constraints with the current hosting solution.

The forum and all the information that is available in the threads and posts going many years back is very valuable to the community.

I'm rather new here in the community and I don't know the full history of how this has been handled i the past. But if there is anything the that us in community can do to help out with the forum then I'm willing to help and I'm sure many other people are too.

Personally I think that in order to secure the future of the forum a long term plan needs to be in place regarding the choice of platform, hosting, upgrades and maintenance.



 

I'm just going to echo the above comments, as I know I have been critical at times of the recent attempts.

I am willing to help with any future moves, but a discussion about what we currently have, and what we'd like would be a good first step.
I'm happy to have that discussion either publicly, or in private.

This is one of the forums I would actually financially subscribe to in some way. This project and all connections to it is definitely worth giving back to.

Will I get banned if I propose to let for example Claude look into this and do a test migration?
