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.

Libravatar::URL(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      Libravatar::URL(3pm)

NAME
Libravatar::URL - Make URLs for Libravatars from an email address SYNOPSIS
use Libravatar::URL; my $url = libravatar_url( email => 'larry@example.org' ); DESCRIPTION
See <http://www.libravatar.org> for more information. Functions libravatar_url # By email my $url = libravatar_url( email => $email, %options ); # By OpenID my $url = libravatar_url( openid => $openid, %options ); Constructs a URL to fetch the Libravatar for the given $email address or $openid URL. %options are optional. "libravatar_url" will accept all the options of "gravatar_url" in Gravatar::URL except for "rating" and "border". The available options are... size Specifies the desired width and height of the avatar (they are square). Valid values are from 1 to 512 inclusive. Any size other than 80 may cause the original image to be downsampled using bicubic resampling before output. size => 40, # 40 x 40 image default The url to use if the user has no avatar. default => "http://www.example.org/nobody.jpg" Relative URLs will be relative to the base (ie. libravatar.org), not your web site. Libravatar defines special values that you may use as a default to produce dynamic default images. These are "identicon", "monsterid", "wavatar" and "retro". "404" will cause the URL to return an HTTP 404 "Not Found" error instead and "mm" will display the same "mystery man" image for everybody. See <http://www.libravatar.org/api> for more info. If omitted, Libravatar will serve up their default image, the orange butterfly. base This is the URL of the location of the Libravatar server you wish to grab avatars from. Defaults to <http://cdn.libravatar.org/avatar/> for HTTP and <https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/> for HTTPS. short_keys If true, use short key names when constructing the URL. "s" instead of "size", "d" instead of "default" and so on. short_keys defaults to true. https If true, serve avatars over HTTPS instead of HTTP. You should select this option if your site is served over HTTPS to avoid browser warnings about the presence of insecure content. https defaults to false. LICENSE
