Getting Started

I've just been notified that this forum will be shut down on May 15th, 2025. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen a company do. I was notified on May 4th, 2025 that this is happening in 11 days.

I spend most of my time managing the spam messages in this forum and blocking bad actors... and I want to thank each and everyone of you who have reported these messages to me. It appears that Wix (the website host) is forcing this migration... and will disable this forum on May 15th and will delete it on September 1st. I'm looking into migrating it over to their Wix Groups... which they say is "mostly automatic" but I need to move each and every user over to it. They said they will automatically migrate the content, but that I still need to migrate the users over. They also said that I need to migrate any URLs in it over... which is an impossible task, as I'd have to go through each and every post and find the new location in the Wix Group to change it. I also have no way of knowing who has linked to them outside of the forum. With this all in mind, I'm thinking I should just let them migrate it over to a static Wix Group and have you all continue having conversations over on the Github page. But in the mean time, I'd love to hear your ideas on this?

I'll keep monitoring (and complaining to Wix) about this sudden and extreme change... but what are your thoughts or suggestions?
