26 hours and 40,000+ posts migrated and the migration tool froze again. I do not believe that short of paying several hundred dollars for a professional migration firm to do the job that it can be done.
I cannot integrate this board's software with social media, The misbehaving subscriptions module makes it impossible for new members to sign up and as memberships expire, makes it difficult to retain members. We have lost over 1000 members in the past 3 years. Invision has ended their support for this software, and upgrading is not an option due to a legal issue between myself and Invision. Short of making albums with all of the images from the monthly folders of this site, which would not have any poster information, and starting from scratch with phpBB or bbpress-which I know no one wants, I do not see the site surviving much longer.
I would like to thank everyone who sent me negative messages bashing the process based on an incomplete upload on the wordpress site-it means a lot.
The site will remain up, but when the software fails or there are no more members able to sign up, Firepics will be no more.
