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.

I want to say something similar happened over at Acurazine. After they updated all the stickied threads links broke. Pretty much impossible to find older resources that are still working.
