    When do you estimate that the movement of the old forum to the new platform will be over?

    Hi Lucian,
    We're targetting H1 of this fiscal year to migrate all.  More specifically we're hoping to move them all over by the November time frame.

    We're currently re-architecting our database into shards and adding distributed caching to scale out better before we move them all over to ensure we handle the load plus future growth well.

    Owww, that hurts.  The off-topic volume has grown into a monster.  We're getting a new generation of OPs that have never heard of the old site.  Moderating it is impossible.  Please consider adding posting advice to the front page, about at the "hit Ctrl+F5 to post" level that helps OPs finding the other sites.  The vast majority of off topic volume falls into these categories, roughly in order:

    - ADO.NET
    - ASP.NET
    - Data controls and binding
    - Windows Forms
    - Smart Devices
    - XML
    - Express editions

    Yeap, that's a big problem. We're driveing people away when moving their posts to Offtopic. At least tell them where to go to get help...
