I am starting the process of migrating the site to a new system and server. Don't panic this is going to take me some time.
The new system is going to be very different from what we have now. I am planning on migrating the current content of the Forum to the new system but it will be archived. That means you'll be able to read the old content but not add to it in the form of replies. More then likely the Gallery is going to have to go away. At least in it's current form.
Users who are accessing the site via the TapTalk app will no longer be able to use that app to access the site. Good news though is that the new system is mobile friendly so I don't think that is going to be too big of a shock to TapTalk users.
It is going to require that you sign up for an account again. While I am going to try and set up connections between old content and the new user database, the difference between the two systems is just two big to try and import all the old users. I'll try my best to make it easy for those current users to set up a new account.
Would love to hear your feed back on this. What is it you like about PandS. What should we keep and what can we do without. I'll be using Concrete5 as the frame work for the new site. It has a lot of abilities built in that connect with better with other social media sites out there like FB, Twitter, Google+ and more.
Again this is going to take me quite a while ... or at least I think it is ... so now is the time to speak up if you have ideas!
