Here are some alternative SaaS platforms: Vanilla: https://vanillaforums.com/features/forums/ Discourse (open source): https://www.discourse.org/features IPB's SaaS platform: https://invisioncommunity.com/buy Tribe is great but too expensive ($500 per month) Or we could move to a traditional forum software like phpBB which is free and self-hosted. Many other forums use it. Only issue is that it looks even more dated than IPB.

The lowest tier should be fine for us. Migration cost is $250, but waived off if we pay for the full year up front. But I'm a bit concerned about getting stuck with a 1 yr commitment if their servers are sluggish and they aren't able to optimise performance. Would everyone be okay with having these forums as read-only and switching to an entirely platform from scratch?

IPB has an SaaS offering, and they can also port our content and database from here for a fee: https://invisioncommunity.com/buy

Moving to a new platform is an option. There are similar software suites, and also SaaS solutions like Tribe. The question is how much can we export and use on those platforms. If not posts and threads, we should at least be able to transfer the members database.

I've been trying to find a solution to it, but the forums have become so bloated over the last 10+ years, there doesn't seem like much can be done, short of dumping it and starting from scratch. Even our AWS billing is through the roof (35k per month) because the forums have become so unoptimised that its taxing the server. The forums software company (Invision) has a service where we can move the forums to their own server but they can't guarantee that it will run any smoother.

Hey guys, Those of you visiting IVG through Tapatalk may have noticed notifications issues and other bugs. We've been trying to resolve those but it seems like Tapatalk doesn't seem to support this forum platform very well at the moment. So I've removed Tapatalk entirely, and we'll keep it that way - partly because there are frequent issues with their plugin and each update seems to add more bugs, but also because the mobile browser version of the forums is actually quite good (a lot better than Tapatalk IMO) and it will just be a far smoother experience over time.
