Well, first; it's not the server that's the problem, it's operating fine. It's this vBulletin software that's so bloated and ancient that it causes any server to slow to a crawl.
Second, the update was only in its infancy in 2014 as the staff was looking into options at the time. It was only later that year when the admins decided on the IP4 software which was still in development at the time; fastforward into mid-2015, the software moved into its beta stages. Which I'll remind you, takes weeks or even months before the software is ready for launch (which occurred late last year).
That's why it took so long. And we're in our final round of the beta as of last week; Athens will make an announcement soon about the launch details (and I say soon because none of us really know when).
