Plesk is easy I’d vote that if I were running it. 

If you have a way to import from a php bb without the database then I can point 
the dns at whatever resolver you want when ready. There’s no email addresses 
really for cocoaforge. I’d focus on the Adium forum the rest seem wholly 
inactive. I can ping nr about getting access to that server but with it being 
the last day I don’t think there is a guarantee of anything. Sorry I’ve been 
busy with retiring Growl and unfortunately this just slipped. 

The dns record is really just an a record for forums.cocoaforge.com

It may also be worth not reviving it seems the forum seems to be dead. In which 
case a cname for forums.cocoaforge.com to the Adium GitHub ticket system would 
work fine imho. 

Thoughts?

Adiumxtras is probably the biggest resource and problem to address given all 
the user submitted content, I would suggest starting there.
