also I've done a little bit of site hosting and building in the past. I had a site of similar complexity of ALs current one and used an external forum for discussion ect.
I'm not sure what your tech department is like at American Lifan but it would not be hard to make a forum hosted on one of the many free or very low cost 3rd party forum hosting sites (which usually have spam filters ect.) , then put a redirecting link from the old forums address to the third party forum (so the old address in everyone's address books will work).
yes it is a little tacky to not have the forum integrated with the site but from the amount of problems AL has been having it might be best to leave at least some of the technical stuff to someone else.
