A big Thank You to the mods

Uh, do you mean the mailing list? (use-list)
That's replicated on Nabble giving web accessibility but has entirely different content to the forums.

Discourse is my new favorite forum package.

If migrating from PHPBB is easy then why not? But if it's at all difficult these forums could be maintained as an archive, with a fresh start on a new forum for new content.

Discourse is hands down best in class.
I’ve been on forums where they migrated seemingly overnight and it just worked (a forum of equivalent size to this one). Their site advertises “easy” automatic migration from phpBB, but I’m gonna guess that isn’t always a faultless process…. Having said that - it is open source and there’s nothing really to lose by working on a migration to a test server and going live once issues hammered out… one can hope;)

Ah, Yes: the mailing list.

Got confused.
