With all due respect, setting up an alternative platform - or worse, several - will kill this community even faster.
Viper007Bond, I can hardly imagine how difficult a time you are having with your health issues. I wish you all the best and I fully understand that migrating the forum to another software is not your top priority right now.
But we are seeing the frustration getting the better of many of us. Most people just cease posting, some are actively setting up camp elsewhere. I am not sure how much longer this community can survive this state of limbo.
Please, let us help you. Delegate. There are enough IT people here to do some or most of the stuff that needs to be done.
