WTF Is Going On?

Age, let me know if you need any help. I get the feeling that you're technically inclined and I imagine that you're all set... But if not, I'm a software engineer and maybe I can lend a hand with the migration if you need it.

And I second/third/fourth the sentiments of appreciation for you maintaining the site; a donate button would be good.

Is there something that can be done about the recent influx of spam posts? Seems the moderators are manually deleting these posts but the issue persists. Maybe new members would be subject to some kind of approval process or be required to answer a couple of simple college hockey-related questions?

Moderators can delete posts, but only administrators (which may just be Age) can ban/block users.  I assume there are administrative solutions, but I don't know what they are or if Age has time to implement them.

Came here to say this. I've asked for the proper permissions to ban/block but otherwise I'm just deleting individual posts, and I haven't kept up with it very quickly because it's frustrating to have to keep doing it on the same posters again and again.

ETA: Ticket Exchange also used to be a moderated section back on the old forum; since the migration, it no longer is. There should be no spam in there at all, but right now it's no different than the other sections, and I'm not sure Age has the ability to make that change for only one section as opposed to the whole forum.

Ticket exchange gets one real post every three years. I'd delete it entirely tbh.

I assure you that's not the case. You may only think so because we delete posts as soon as the games to which they were relevant have passed.
