I guess it's because in 2003, when they created the board, everything wasn't so easy and cheap to get, so there were services like aimoo to provide SaaS boards/forums. They were cheap to host on VPS servers, and all the data belongs to them, not to the founder of the board, so they could put ads and other stuff whenever they wanted.

Now, when everything is so easy and cheap, thongboard is stuck with aimoo, because they just can't move the whole database of members and topics/posts, because that belongs to aimoo, not to thongboard, so they're stuck with them until aimoo fully dies as a service. The only option for them is to create a brand new board, on their server and domain, and inform all their members manually about moving to a new empty board, and that would obviously mean loosing nearly 20 years of history.

That's my thoughts about sticking with the old aimoo provider.
There are less than 100 "Active Forums" on Aimoo, most have less than 50 members. The Thongboard is the only large forum left there. Since that only gets 86 posts a WEEK, it is #35 on the list. It lists 32,481 "members" since there is no way to delete your membership. Just like the Hotel California, "You can sign out but you can never leave".

Well, now you know why the system isn't updated. Since there are not many boards active, they're not making enough profits so they probably abandoned aimoo project, so I would assume they should move to a new board long time ago, instead of sticking with something that isn't updated anymore. There is plenty of board scripts that offers a lot more, but that's something thongboard admin should think about, but if nothing will happen, people will eventually leave to a more friendly scripted-wise board.

I just tried to register, it just gives an error message. Anyone else have this experience?

I recently launched the Thong Forum as a spiritual successor to the ThongBoard. The ThongBoard has been a great resource for many years, but, as you've noticed, Aimoo has not been well maintained. Its future seems uncertain.

Please note that the Thong Forum is not an adult site and much of what's permitted here, including the images in this thread, is not allowed. That said, if you're interested in discussing thong and g-string swimwear, you can join at https://www.thongforum.com/.

Looks like it's growing. Great site. I will join next year, though.
