If this server is to stay running, we NEED a new system. Patching together old pieces of junk for 5 years is how you turn a bunch of small problems into one big catastrophic problem. You want to get a nice smooth transition over to something new BEFORE what you already have blows up and you get caught up in crunch time.
This being said.. there isn't a new product to switch to. There's Pointshop 1, which had it's own problems, particularly with how it stored it's data, but in general was much less complicated and could possibly be worked into a custom solution with the help of a developer. And then there's SH Pointshop, which looks very similar to Pointshop 1. SH Pointshop has not been updated in 2 years, Pointshop 1 hasn't been updated in 6 years.
