There have been some concerns regarding speed and performance on the site, and I've had some personal concerns regarding security, scalability, and stability. Also, it's usually cool to have the latest version of software that includes new features and such.
So I'm considering upgrading the 6GC forum software. However, this is not such an easy thing to do. I have tons of custom work invested in the current version of the forums. Also, the database structure has been heavily modified to accommodate integration of the forums with the rest of the site. The biggest hurdle that comes to mind immediately is the user reputation/feedback system. This is a very custom piece of work and would require a ton of work to get it integrated into a new version of the forums. What do you guys think about not having it immediately integrated into the forums after an upgrade? Benefits of the upgrade include higher performance and more stability, as well as tons of new features. But for a while, the boards may be bare and lack some of the current custom functionality that you guys are used to. Also, there will be probably 8-12 hours worth of downtime. What do you all think? Would you all like to see an upgrade? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

I've had some problems with site slowness/connectivity issues, but nothing too bad. If you feel an upgrade would be good, then do it. If you need help with it, let me know. I is local script nerd.
