Shannon Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Well I myself tend to be pessimistic... but that being said I honestly hope things go well. So far this board has survived the transitions despite the odds. Just make sure the forum is double vacinnated maked and double boosted before the transition! Sheesh... some people are so rude.. How dare they speak to their elders like that! Edited August 5, 2022 by Shannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thanatos Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 9 hours ago, Albert said: Yeah, that's not something I could do, either. I mean, for a short while the forum will be on its own up in the cloud, but the store will join it later (although with a different company), and I'll do the same with the main site, which has minimal requirements versus the store and forum. That I might just put in AWS, as I'd like to be able to spool off snapshots for development purposes (as the main site needs a lot of development!) I have used AWS a fair bit in the past professionally, but as it's been a while I know I'll need to relearn quite a bit. ..Al One big concern with AWS is it can get really expensive quickly. I think my company is up to about $150k/month. I don't think AA needs as much stuff running as I have to deal with though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's one reason I wouldn't even consider it for the forum, it would get pretty expensive. Might be fine for the main site, though. And it's easy to move all that if need be. A VPS would handle it just fine, so that's probably what I'll end up doing, and it would be far less expensive. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be the same forum software, just a newer version, and the changes are relatively minor overall. The forum theme will have some differences in appearance, and I will tweak this as necessary after the migration is complete. I was not able to test the updated theme on the full forum since the new theme will not work with this version of the software, so there will likely be some oddball things that will have to be fixed, and those things should be taken care of fairly quickly. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
