>SMF is 2.0.13, with mods to really make upgrading to 2.0.14 a hassle
>Dreamhost can't make a backup of GTM, cuz it is 65GB
>Dreamhost limits number of SFTP connections, making manual backup real slow

smf and vBulletin were ALWAYS updating on me and making me redo all those mods all the time!

I am old and tired of doing it.
