I am not speaking for this site's owner, but as the owner of another large automotive forum which is running the same software FABO was on.
The old software was top notch - 5 years ago. Since then the Internet has changed dramatically from a desktop/laptop based experience to a tablet/smart phone experience. On my site I am now at 50/50 with mobile increasing each month. Windows used to be the #1 OS for accesing my forums, now it's Android, then Windows.
The version of the software which the forum was on hasn't been supported for several years. Worst of all, the "upgrades" from the company which created the old software was terrible, and nothing like the version you were used to.
I waited as long as I could before deciding on the same software which is now running on this site. I will be going live with the new software within the next couple months.
This new software was written by some of the folks who wrote the old version. They went on to form a new company, and their product is very solid.
Dig around and check out the features.
