The knowledge base in this forum is the important part... So, although there are a multitude of different forum suppliers/hosts/etc, that would be fine for a new forum, but there is a wealth of data contained here.. So migrating to a new server is the biggest risk.... As aways the cheapest may not be the most appopriate for longevity, cheap forum may be hosted on some spotty teens computer, set up as a server in the back room (smiley face!)
So my vote would be to stick with vbulletin, with the latest version, cloud based, as that means it's their servers and their engineers that can give it a kick when necessary as that's their full time job (one would hope) leaving the current admin to moderate, rather than firefighter issues that may well be over their paygrade (not dissing the admin here, you are awesome volunteers)
The next advantage would be vbulletin will have all the tools to migrate the data from the current forum to it's new home, they WILL have done it before, whereas the current admin quite probably haven't!!!
I addition to the platinum subs, we could have some simple merch to add to nsxcb funds if necessary...
I literally used a link to a thread in here 2 days ago on Facebook, as someone had a broken mirror, and a DIY fix is in this forum!!!
