As many of you know, I have been running this site since 1996. A good friend of mine has been gracious enough to let me host it on his server for many years now.

Unfortunately, he will be shutting that server down in the near future, which means the site needs to either relocate or shut down by January 1, 2010.

I'm sorry for the short notice but I had this idea I would come to you all with a full plan, have done much more research, and everything would be as seamless as possible. Life, work, etc. kept getting in the way of that and time snuck up on me.

So, the long and the short of it is - if the site (migrainepage.com) is to remain active, this discussion forum won't be going with it. The code it's based on is ancient and no longer being updated. I would be hard pressed to find a server that would be willing to run the forum as it is and quite frankly, I wouldn't want to (it has numerous problems).

Therefore, I'm considering switching the discussion portion of the site to Google groups. I've started doing some tests with it (it's not public yet) and it seems like it may be a viable option. Current user names, passwords, etc. would not transfer over.

I would most likely be able to keep the threads from this discussion around so they would be readable, but no new posts would be able to be made to this forum.

The rest of the site (such as it is) could remain pretty much as it is now. The journal would need to be either taken off line or moved to a group as well.

Let me know if this idea seems worth pursuing. If there's not a lot of interest in switching to a Google group, then I won't continue exploring that option.

It's been a long run, and there are a lot of options - and better options - out there nowadays. Another idea would be for everyone who wants to, to start using a forum hosted on another site. If anyone has suggestions of good ones, feel free to share.

If any of you have experience with Google groups (I don't really) and want to share some advice or tips on being a group member, feel free to do that here also.

Thanks for all your support over the years. I really do appreciate it!!
