One of the sites I'm running is a long established community website with zillions of posts and bazillions of comments. The whole stuff is powered by a home made CMS written in Perl, something I did nearly 10 years ago and that is totally outdated today. For instance, there were no such things as "comment spam" back in that time, and dealing with this plague a couple of years after you've totally forgotten how your own stuff works is a real pain to deal with, believe me.
I finally decided to, guess what, migrate this site to WordPress. I wrote a custom importer (my half baked Perl CMS was using flat text files) and the result is…
Yep, so far, so good :)

Are you going to migrate the FFF???? Awesome!

That great. Now you will be comfortable maintaining the community, and, why not, expending it. WordPress is so scalable.
where is FFF hosted now?
