i would like to say it is not that hard to update a modded forum.
yes, you overwrite files, but the included files for a mod are not overwritten, they are still there.
so is any databases for those mods.
all you really have to do is redo the file edits, and i found having done them once before, i was able to do them alot faster.
it took me almost 2 yrs to mod my forum with all my mods, and after the upgrade, it ran fine even without the edits, so i a took couple of days to put the edits back in.
the only thing you have to really be concerned about doing, is right after the upgrade, you will have to edit your includes/constants.php so you will be able to view your forum. this was a simple process, i opened the modded file and the new file in winmerge, merged all edits that dealt with my mods.
of course, i have found that alot of the mods i did are not being used by the members, so i have opted to go with a fresh install and only install the mods that are really being used.
