Migration to a new platform

Post by hybrid »

It looks as though DragonflyCMS (which this site is built on) is dead, so I'm going to look at migrating to another platform - phpBB, which will be familiar to many of you.
The upside is that it's very well supported. The downside is that it probably won't have all the same functions that this website has, although I will try to replicate as many as I can. The TechZone is one of the important ones that I want to do something with.

Reality is though, that the Forum is the most used part of this website and it will be well served by phpBB.
It may take some time to convert everything over and there may be some downtime in the process.

Good time to think about what it is costing.

Maybe something like Patron on YT?

Appreciate the sentiment Kerry, but it's not a big cost and I use the same server for the tracking stuff anyway.
But sure, if anyone wants to help, buy a tracker :lol:
