Pro tip: I picked a forum software upgrade over a total rebuild...

Had to choose between a full site migration to a new platform or just updating our old vBulletin install. Went with the update, which took about 6 hours of downtime, but kept all our old threads from 2008. Anyone else faced this kind of 'refresh or replace' decision for a community?

Ever notice how we patch old cars too?

Is this just how we deal with old stuff now?

Yeah, it's like we're just keeping everything on life support instead of building new things that last.
