    Site Migration
    Taking Place in August!!!!


    Well... After about ~10 months, we raised enough money ($1,492.84) to upgrade and migrate the site into a new version of the current platform and onto a new, updated server that can handle it. We didn't raise the $3K I was originally thinking we needed, but after working with our development team to keep costs down on site hosting that would have increased and cutting out some less used modules, we are able to make this happen. (Mind you, we still have other monthly/yearly bills that we pay, e.g., site hosting, LLC filing, tax filing, etc., so it is important that we keep funds in the bank to cover these costs and other unforeseen costs as well. (See this link for the 2022 Financial Summary for a list of expenses and their costs: https://www.thebarefootrunners.org/threads/2022-financial-summary-available-for-your-review.23494/)

    We plan to migrate the site around the middle of August. At that time, I will let you all know when the site will go down and approximately when it will be back up.

    A BIG THANK YOU to all who were able to donate to make this happen!

    A newer version of the same platform (XenForo) on an upgraded server to support it.

    UPDATE: We’re getting close. Looking like maybe this month. Developers are working out the bugs on the test site.

    Right now, the developers are working on the trophy/medals (Donor Footprints and Winter Challenge Snowflakes). After that, there will be some testing on the test site. Then we will launch hopefully soon after that. Sorry for the delay.
