JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Hire someone to port all of the database to a fresh bulletin board install and run it on a dreamhost server.

All these problems are going to be solved with Titan comes out.

Wouldn't new software and moving the forums off of Katrina-era hardware onto a cloud-hosted solution be a bit cheaper? I mean, if we're believing it costs thousands a month to run this place, then there has to be some costs that can be scaled down with as much bandwidth and computing power as there is available today.

I could also be full of poo poo because my job is just to take the engineers requirements and make sure they're fulfilled correctly.

Well, who knows what kind of insane custom set-up you need to run the forums, but otherwise yes, probably.
