What is the reason for the move? This is probably one of the last web forums which still works fine on my 486. It is hard to imagine any "upgrade" being able to run this lean with the existing feature set.
The forum software of this board has not being updated (by the creators) for a very long time now and the amount of patching I can do to extend it, has reached the limited. Bugs are starting to show in the admin panel, blocking bots, takes more and more coding.
However, I understand your concerns. I could give you access to the current test forum, so you could try it on your 486.
Send me a PM if you are interested in trying it.
I will really miss browsing the forums on my 266 mmx; and my other retro machines. The darn thing even worked under ie5 on a clean install.
Though, if the forum software has to be updated after so much time, well, I still have my arms opened to it anyway. However, I would like the forum to maintain its iconic style & functionality. This way we make no compromises on security, while also not losing the "identity" the forum has achieved during the years. It would also keep things light and fast for those as me who like visting it on their retro systems 😊
The actual small but handful smiley selection is something I will miss quite a bit too 🤣
