An upgrade to TC would be nice, but that would be a HUGE undertaking which would take lots of time and may also cost lots of money. I recall someone posting here (Hakalugi?) that there is quite a gap in the current TC technology and current board technology, so it would be a matter of months and not days to upgrade and migrate all the text and images.

Some keep mentioning "the death of TC due to past people here." Who gives a flying $%#& - they're generally not causing trouble now, and more trouble makers can join at any time. Plus, it's not as if Facebook is free from all controversy either. This last detail really gets me because it's so blatantly unrealistic -- how pure-as-the-driven-snow are Facebook conversations? What happens on Facebook fades quickly - it is a now-and-in-the-moment social network, so stuff can expire and goes away pretty quickly.

Our current Tiki Central system is a pretty decent and searchable repository. I'm glad we have it, despite the fact that it's not using latest-and-greatest technology. But eventually the software may require a major upgrade otherwise this system will not be able to continue running. I'm guessing that Hanford has this in the back of his mind. But he may already be working on some sort of a future transition plan.
