Android Firefox issues with forum

[agent_kith]

I'm thinking of switching forums, however, it's the porting of existing users and threads that's going to be difficult (and time consuming).

I'm thinking of just making a hard switch, i.e. switch to a new forum, and have people recreate accounts again to the new forum, and start everything from scratch. This is a good thing because effectively Snakeoil 1.4 is a restart.

I have this nagging feeling this forum software is also going the day of the dodo, the promised update may just never come.
What do you guys think? 

Pros of hard switch:

• New forum site is a lot easier to maintain/update. This will save me a lot of time with maintenance.
  

Cons of hard switch:

• Going to lose some valuable content (e.g. peoples' showcases), tips/tricks etc
  
• Half of the SEO will be gone
  

I suspect eventually this hard move will have to be made.. Just that I am kicking the can down the road for as long as I can (and harden the OS to prevent hacking attacks in the meantime).

Thoughts? @"Snoopy8" maybe add a poll to this so we can gauge sentiment? I'm more in line with a hard switch and restart the community.
