Any chance for a forum upgrade?

It would be great if the pothos forum moved to a more modern software like Vbulletin.com.That way the organization of topics, arhives, search functions etc. can really make this place a goldmine!

Thomas, the webmaster, isn't an active participant on the forum, but he created Pothos and pays for the maintenance. (You can click on the 'Support Us' button on the homepage to find out more.) He did post here quite a long while ago about eventually transferring Pothos to a new site with a different format, gave a URL, and asked for comments and criticisms. I tried several times but was unable to post any comments on the other site, and when I went there today the server was down. I believe Thomas' original intention was to make the transfer after a year and I think we're getting close to that time-frame. (Nick might know more but he seems to have been absent for a while - he never did post the Easter edition of book recommendations.) Does anyone have updated information?http://www.pothos.org/atg/index.phpAmyntoros
