When software starts falling behind too far it's almost impossible to get it updated without some major work. Nobody wants to lose data/history so instead of risking regular updates they just stop updating. That seems to be where we are now. Unfortunately, when you stop updating you also lose support. When you start having operational errors like we're currently experiencing then you're on your own because you aren't up to date.
Sadly, unless the actual site/hosting admins decide to do something, I think the forum is eventually just going to fail to a point where it will no longer be usable.

When I say admins I mean the forum owner(s)
Absolutely, a major overall usually goes hand in hand with losing some data, especially photos. But, without doing anything you could lose it all.
There really is no choice, To do nothing is a death sentence.
