Forum temporarily closed due to software migration (Updated) (Announcements, News)

Дата публикации: 28-05-2026 22:00:00

Our forum will be temporarily closed from May 30th on for some time. But no fear, it will return. We just need to migrate to another forum software.
We used Vanilla Forums for a few years. We choose it back then because it was the only forum software that had an importer for the bbPress forum we once started with. We had to migrate to Vanilla Forums because bbPress – originally a standalone forum software – became a WordPress plugin and we had no use for a WordPress site obviously.
We really liked Vanilla but a few years ago a company named Higher Logic took over and now focuses on their paid hosted plans. After neglecting support for the still available open source software itself and not providing proper release updates anymore, they finally made a clean cut in December 2025.
Due to upcoming server updates which will remove PHP versions older than 8.1 which Vanilla is not compatible with, we are forced again to migrate. Since options to import an existing forum database are not that many we have chosen MyBB as the replacement as it also has an importer for Vanilla.
We hope to be back soon and hopefully most user accounts and topics will be still available.
Updates
2026-06-02: So far looks good and we were able to fix some issues with the importer and already moved all contents. We hope to get the forum up again around the weekend.
2026-06-01: Sadly the available importer tool does not work properly although first tests had been promising. We hope we manage it eventually. Since we do all this in our spare time, it likely will take some days until the forum will be available again.
