I appreciate Zack^2 taking on this challenge. If I can be of assistance somehow, I'm more than happy to throw my hat into the ring.

1) I don't have an answer either, but does vBulletin or other forums options support Okta, Entra ID, or other central Identity Access Management platforms? Perhaps that may open up a set of opportunities on how to redevelop the database side of things if we know the forum can handle the same IAM.

2) Yes, a ton of work, well stated. Preservation/Archival of this information in an alternate form would also be comforting.

I would also add a semi-related item...


3) Ability to reach admins/etc. and get a response. During the process of trying to reach someone to discuss this aging forum, as well as trying to reach board members during the nomination/voting process it was like sending email into a black hole even when sending to multiple published addresses. Whatever workflow is in use today feels like it is not working if members cannot get a response from any of several board members and/or if board members say they never received the mail, and it also was not in their junk folders.
