Quick request for feedback.
Right now the main site is running WordPress which I really like. Forums are still vBulletin 4. At some point in 2013 we are going to need to move to newer infrastructure. The forums need to move either to Amazon EC2, or a colocated solution in 2013. The plan was upgrading to a vBulletin 5 Connect license.
One other thing I am tossing around is the idea of moving everything to a BuddyPress infrastructure. Social + the main site in one. If I do that, I would likely hire a main site designer and put some resources into the redesign. Also, servethebiz.com may make a comeback.
We have a bunch of cool other projects brewing, but I wanted to see what folks here thought. 2011 was house, 2012 was car, 2013 should free up money for developing STH. Feedback much appreciated.
All of this entails a bit of pain, but I need to keep the thing scalable.
