I could assist with the move, though time is of limited availability ever since I got employed(and naturally can't access the boards from work). If I have backend access to the new boards I could also help with any outages and emergencies, though to be honest most of the outages we experience recently are from the observed evidence, mainly based on yelling at the host to fix.
The biggest challenges here:
-Getting alternative hosting. This takes money mostly, and finding a reliable hosting for a fairly large chunk of data takes some knowledge.
-Someone to be the RL phone contact person to actually resolve hosting downtime issues. Yes, email works, but if you want a turnaround time on less than a week you'd need someone to call and yell at people to do what they're paid for.
-Figuring out the data format everything is stored in, getting it backed up as raw data, and then we need new board software as well since our version of SMF is very dated. Fortunately most forum software is nearly idiotproof to set up, but translating data from one to another needs either prior familiarity with SMF backend, or some time to look over the current setup and figure it out. Preferably the former, as she's expressed not having the time to watch over someone else accessing rather private data, but really if we export all the forum data and the current software, any one with web programming experience at all could figure it out given a couple of days, so we just need to pull the site data.
-Having the bandwidth and storage space to house the raw database while doing all this. The site is going to be QUITE substantial, eyeballing it.
So the technical element is very nearly the simplest part. If necessary I do have a few days leave banked up to assist with.
The bandwidth, storage space, trust and money are not quite so simple.
