Oudated forum

For the same reason you update any software - new features, taking advantage of modern technology, security enhancements,

These are valid and valuable remarks

For example Mp3tag forum went modern while FreeCommander is from the bygone era. After a few weeks of using that first one I could see how much user friendly it is and how much the later one is inferior

not looking like an idiot for continuing to use horribly outdated software...

That one however is just plain stupid

If you are ashamed using good old Winamp just because it is old and you live in fear of your pals finding out that you post here- I am not going to dissect that into pieces

Without back end access to backup the forum, updating the current forum software is risky.
If anyone active here had the access to the back end, the forum would have probably had HTTPS by now.
Any upgrades done to the forum software would be handy, but when it comes to security it won't help much as everything is unencrypted.
