We really appreciate all of the time and effort that is being put into this. Please don't get discouraged JT. For a moment I was afraid you were giving up when it went back to the old forum and the announcement you made about reverting. Looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labors.
I can hardly imagine the storage required for the many years that the forum has been collecting data. What is it, about 17-18yrs? Hosting it can't be particularly cheap or easy.

For standard, day-to-day use, it is unacceptable to have to wait several minutes for a page to refresh, or to constantly battle bot attacks—something the old software is no longer capable of handling. However, for someone only seeking information that cannot be found anywhere else, this state would be acceptable.
We could set up a new forum—for instance, newforum.linuxcnc.org—migrate only the user accounts, and stop tilting at windmills.

That is why I suggested closing the old forum and leaving it exactly as it is.I can hardly imagine the storage required for the many years that the forum has been collecting data. What is it, about 17-18yrs? Hosting it can't be particularly cheap or easy.

Once the forum is upgraded and we have more memory and better cpu the forum will be much faster.
