So after a couple of weeks of prep work, moving the existing site to AWS, deciding on what forum software we want to upgrade to, it's finally getting there!

Took a while and a ton of late nights to get to the point where we have all the data migrated into a vB4 test site so we can start poking around. Took a while to fix all the corruption issues with 15 years worth of data (thanks MySQL), but 2am last night, I have last week's snapshot in vB4!
Next steps is to start optimizing back to the beyond look and feel, adding mods, and generally try to make things feel familiar again. Vanilla vB4 sure is ugly.
If you guys have any feedback for us for what you want to see, let me know! At some point when we're closer to the final product, I'll make the site public for you guys to test drive and make more suggestions, find bugs, usability problems, etc.
