So if our motivation is just to keep stuff running, I think it should be akin to picking up a new Camry to replace our 25 year old Camry, rather than updating to an ES500h.
For example, I'm on rivianforums.com. It doesn't look that different to RS:

Yeah the software literally HAS to be replaced now. It should have been long ago, but it kind of went unnoticed for a long time. But now it's under attack constantly, so the vulnerabilities have to go. I have done what I can to keep it up for now
The new software is basically still a forum layout. It still works in the same way, with forums, threads, replies. We're not switching to like inline replies or chat based or anything like that. Still a forum, just modern.
