Hey guys... thanks so much for all the well wishes and support. As many of you have sent PM's or emails, sorry for the late or no reply until now. As I mentioned in the first post, life has gotten really busy lately.
Here's the deal... for the site to live on, I have to separate the Joomla and SMF integrations, because the site itself is an outdated, unsupported version of joomla, and if it gets hacked, the entire site would go down. I really didn't want to put 10+ hours of dev time into creating a new front page to the site, plus moving the 2500 or so files over from joomla (downloads2) to the forum downloads. However, I see there's a lot of support to keep it going, so I will see if I can schedule my team to work on this over the next few weeks if we find a small break in our work schedule.
Basically, this site is on a dedicated server which costs me $150 a month. I leased a 2nd dedicated server 2 months ago (also at $150 a month), and its running a much newer version of PHP than this old server is. This site is the last site to migrate from my old server over to the new server, and I was trying to avoid the work it will take to get the site ready for the new server. That's why I said I was shutting down.
So, another month of the old server was paid on Friday, so I basically have a month left to get this site moved to the new server. Which I will do.
We aren't going anywhere.
Keep your money guys... it was never about the money.
Thanks again for all your support. Really means a lot to me.
