I have disabled the registering process for now. Shouldn't affect anyone, but just want you all to be aware.

SOOO, I would suggest we transfer this FIRST, Rob, using a backup and the current version. Then you can run the upgrade on it, so we don't lose history and such. THAT was the true loss with the last conversion.
I'll back this up and email you the files as soon as everyone votes.
Thanks Buddy.

The fact is that we need a better system to help us keep in touch. Upgrading the bbs software to version 3 would be great, but getting it there may be impossible due to time restraints and the confidentiality of Lorin's clients existing on the same server. So what other option do we have?
We migrated at least once before - from Yahoo groups to here. If needed (and helpful), we can do it again. Doing an upgrade would be most helpful because it would preserve all of our previous posts. But it may not be possible due to constraints on Lorin's time. So what I propose is that we pull the plug on the old discussion forum and restart it on my server. I have the time and the resources to keep it up to date and serving our needs without as many demands on my time as you guys have. I would create the same groups for the same topics, but just add better functionality of the software to keep us more able to keep up with posts that we make. I may be able to add a blog functionality too if we want to try that out.
So please cast your vote. No disrespect is meant to you, Lorin. Your hosting of our forum has been great and we appreciate your willingness to help us out. I just think it is time to pass the torch and want to see what the group consensus is. Please cast your vote or leave your comment on how you want to proceed.

If you wouldn't be too uncomfortable sharing your administrator information with me, I would like to take on the BBS upgrade project for us. I am hoping that a more recent version might have some better features with notifying us graphically or e-mail/SMS/newsfeed that might help those who wish to use those features to be better able to keep up with new content. I know it takes time to do any upgrade of anything software related, and that is one thing I have plenty of. I have done upgrades of various online systems before and can do a backup of the existing file structure before any patch updates are made so we can do a restore from backup if anything goes bad.
Let's be prepared to discuss this at lunch or some other time if you feel comfortable doing it.
I'm all about making other people's lives easier when possible. I hope this volunteering of my time may result in some needed help to make a system that already works good into one that works great.

I have everything downloaded, the new filesystem built so I can load concurrently and I just haven't had time to do the actual upgrade.
I should have some more time next week. Once it's up, I ought to make you an administrator Rob... then you can go crazy setting stuff up.

Remember to back it up.

So be patient if you can't get in over the next while... it'll be worth it in the end.

Everyone else should be able to SEE the rooms, since their not hidden anymore, but only access to your own personal room.
