Enjoying reading forum

I am with those who favour the familiar and the simple. I enjoy the simplicity of this forum as you do, Tightbeam, and I agree with Dr Andus. As you say, why fix what isn’t broken.

I have confidence that Chris understands what we need, and has a sense of how to implement improvements. None of the suggestions made here from time to time require moving to a new platform. Adopting a new platform really is a move, even if the url remains the same. I would respectfully suggest that it’s not necessary to leave the software Chris has been using as long as he is able to create the changes which have been suggested here over the years.

With regard to blocking a user, while that may be necessary at times, I would prefer that ability remain with Chris or, if he wishes, someone on this forum who could act as a moderator.

Just my two cents.
