You probably noticed the site was down today. I was trying to upgrade some Nuke stuff.
Due to all the vulnerabilities, I am considering dropping the PHPNuke site, and creating a HTML/php site.
I will try to use the information we have in our forums, but I cannot guarantee that if a new site is opened using phpbb that our db will work.
Please vote on whether you you think we should stick to nuke or go html/php.
Please post any comments.

What ever will make it more secure. It doesn't matter to me either way....
Even if I loose my post count, I still am "The biggest post whore"
Even if I loose all the games I won, "I still won the most games"
As long as everyone knows that I rule both of those categories, I'm fine with it.
With that said, it's completely up to you. :lol:
I do have a question though.... Will we loose any of the posts???
We could possibly lose all of the posts. If that happens, I would try to make an archive.
I'd say go for the more secure option Jeff.
If the old posts cannot be imported to the new site... patience. We can always, as you said, have an archive of the old posts.
Posts last for as long as their content is valid and true, but a stable and secure website can last a lifetime. :)
Hey Jeff... come over to the chat, and let's see if someone else will join us to talk about it :)
Security is number 1 priority.
Like everyone else says, I don't care as long as its secure.

I pm'd you on some run-downs of migrating. Posts show that all should be preserved. Depending on platform versions, there are modules and scripts around that do most of the job now.
then I found something else important and pm'd you again. You will want to read that post to make sure that host/provider support is 100% covered as it could affect how you plan such a migration.

i would be happy with either, if you want to change it then go for it.
There are good reasons for and against changing and al long as it works i will be happy whichever you decide.
however overall I would prefer it to be more secure.
Thanks Dave
You can see the progress of phpbb2 migration at test.amdusers.com
Our host has phpbb included in the fantastico package, so that should not be a problem.
Will FTPing the results be same (albeit a new tcpip addy) ?
Everything like the server address would be the same.
you could still have your subdomain, or I made have an Iframe where I would load your page using the amdusers template.
would using iframes not lengthen the curent procedure. Seeing as Ototero has mostly automated the process.
the iframe would load stats.amdusers.com
spjeff69,
I just ran some more tests on the test site & PMd you the results and observations.
There was 1 data conversion issue I noticed which you may want to address, and another that may not need to be handled depending on your interpretation of the pro & con.
I'll do some more later on.
I sent you another PM about the HTML in PM functionality.
[edit]
also another about the last couple of visible functions available for test
Don't forget to have some fun on the weekend. ;)
