After thinking about this.....

To be honest, I am inclined to stop development and updates on the current code base and migrate the forums to discourse.

Code:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_(software)

Code:
Discourse is an open source Internet forum and mailing list management software application founded in 2013 by Jeff Atwood, Robin Ward, and Sam Saffron.[2] Discourse received funding from First Round Capital and Greylock Partners.[3] The application is written with Ember.js”¯[4] and Ruby on Rails.[5] PostgreSQL serves as its back-end database management system.

From a usability perspective, Discourse breaks with existing forum software by including features recently popularized by large social networks, such as infinite scrolling, live updates, expanding links, and drag and drop attachments.[6] However, the stated goals of the project are social rather than technical, to improve online discussion quality through improved forum software.

The source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2. Therefore Discourse can be self-hosted by anyone. Alternatively, hosting service can be bought from the company of the founders. As of October 2017, more than 700 businesses or instances have chosen this option.[7] On May 2017, co-founder Jeff Atwood said in an interview that the company is generating approximately 120,000 dollars per month at that time.[8] With the money the company pays salary for its full-time employees who maintain the software and develop new features which benefits those who are self-hosting the open source software, too. This is an example of an open source software business model where a company sells professional services to willing customers.

I think it is about time to "retire" the legacy vB site, in a controlled way.

NAME
mipagentstat - show Mobile IP Mobility Agent status SYNOPSIS
mipagentstat [-fhp] DESCRIPTION
Use the mipagentstat utility to display the content of various Mobile-IP related data structures. Visitor Table (First Form) The visitor table display lists information for all mobile nodes registered with the foreign agent, one mobile node per line. This list consists of the mobile node's home address or Network Access Identifier (NAI), home agent address, total registration lifetime and the num- ber of seconds remaining before the registration expires. The following command line shows the output from a foreign agent with two mobile nodes registered: example# mipagentstat -f Mobile Node Foreign Agent Time Granted Time Remaining Flags (in secs) (in secs) foobar@xyz.com fa1@tuv.com 600 125 10.1.5.23 123.2.5.12 1000 10 R An "R" in the flags column indicates a reverse tunnel is present. No reverse tunnel is configured for the mobile node foobar@xyz.com. A reverse tunnel is configured from mobile node 10.1.5.23. Binding Table (Second Form) The binding table display lists information for all mobile nodes registered with the home agent, one mobile node per line. This list con- sists of the mobile node's home address or NAI, foreign agent address, total registration lifetime and the number of seconds remaining before the registration expires. Use the following command line to show the output from a home agent with two active mobile nodes: example# mipagentstat -h Mobile Node Home Agent Time Granted Time Remaining Flags (in secs) (in secs) foobar@xyz.com ha1@xyz.com 600 125 10.1.5.23 10.1.5.1 1000 10 R An "R" in the flags column indicates a reverse tunnel is present. No reverse tunnel is configured for the mobile node foobar@xyz.com. A reverse tunnel is configured for mobile node 10.1.5.23. Agent Table (Third Form) The agent table display lists information for all current mobility agent-peers, that is all mobility agents with which mobile-nodes we are servicing are trying to obtain service. Provided in this display are the IPsec protection mechanisms being used with registration requests, replies, and tunnels. Use the following command line to show the output from a home agent with two (foreign) mobility agent peers: example# mipagentstat -hp Foreign ..... Security Association(s)..... Agent Requests Replies FTunnel RTunnel ------------------------ -------- -------- -------- -------- fa.eng.example.com AH,ESP AH,ESP AH,ESP AH,ESP fa.central.example.com AH AH ESP ESP Use the following command line to show the output from a home agent with two (foreign) mobility agent peers: example# mipagentstat -fp Home ..... Security Association(s) ..... Agent Requests Replies FTunnel RTunnel ------------------------ -------- -------- -------- -------- ha.eng.example.com AH,ESP AH,ESP AH,ESP AH,ESP ha.central.example.com Use of the -p option without specifying the agent results in both displays described above, that is one display for each agent. An AH in any column indicates the IPsec AH mechanism is in place for those datagrams. An ESP in any column indicates the IPsec ESP mechanism is in place for those datagrams. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -f Display the list of active mobile nodes in the foreign agent's visitor's list. -h Display the list of active mobile nodes in the home agent's binding table. -p Display the list of mobility agent peers, and the IPsec protection mechanisms currently in use for registration and tunnel traf- fic. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. non-zero An error occurred. ATTRIBUTES
