How to continue from here?

Any concerns with losing data and, more important, stats from over there? I see it has
Georgesome folks with over 100,000 posts. Then again, I don't know the history between when I left in 2015 and when I came back in 2020 with how Tapatalk even happened.Klaus, if it matters, I defer my vote to the majority. I do like this platform and see no showstopper issues with it. Might as well proceed and the other one is a "safety net" fall back, if needed in the next few weeks. Nice work, again!

About the money / funding this place:
- This is what WTF worked out: the admin posts a call for donations, and the admin tells people to stop donating whenever the admin has received enough donations to keep the place running for, say, 2~3 years. Repeat the same exercise whenever the reserve runs low.
- Corollary: because monthly expense may be tied to how much storage we use, the WTF solutions is to "purge" old content every now and then to keep the storage cost manageable. We may want to consider this when storage cost becomes an issue.
About transitioning from Tapatalk to this place:
- Pin on top a read-only topic in Tapatalk telling people to come here.
- Set a time table and tell people when you are going to make the Tapatalk a "read-only" place (assuming you/the Tapatalk admin have the power to make a forum "read-only")
- (In my little corner, I will switch coffee-room.com/tncr to redirect here per the aforementioned time table)

I like that idea.

In the long term, it's annoying to have two forums.
We can of course test a bit more for a few days.
Should we have a "Move your ass over here" post in the Tapatalk forum?
Or should we abandon this attempt? Try a different forum software? (I can install Discourse, for instance).
Thoughts?

This used to appear at the top of our forum pages, way back when.
Can we do this?
Nice banner! I think (?) I actually made that way back when...

I disabled the logo for now because it screws up the layout on mobile devices. I'll try to get that sorted out later.

Again. many thanks to Klaus for putting this together in record time. I like it.
I would like the font to be a point or two bigger, but I LOVE the cleanliness of it.

@Mik i have upvoted you to above 3 before Klaus removed the voting/reputation system entirely.
Try clearing cache from your browser and reload this site. It’s probably just your browser remembering fragments of old stuff from before Klaus’ removal of the voting/reputation business.
