Firstly - I have zero technical expertise in this area and should probably be ignored
Secondly - I, personally, don't place a high value on the histories of this place, the old threads from 5, 10 years ago - even though I have hung out here for 20+ years.
Wildy uninformed proposal: Just migrate user names and info to a new platform and let the users create all new threads for the topics of interest. It would seem like that would be an easier transfer than all the threads, links, pics, etc. For instance, how often do people look back to page 10 of a 30 page thread? I know I don't.
Of course, there should probably be some sort of poll to gauge whether this approach is acceptable to the users.
I'll shut my ignorant and insensitive mouth now.
