As my occasional reminder, long before we do any sort of forum change, be sure to save any threads/posts that you want to keep.
I'm not saying threads will disappear, but you know what they say about the best laid plans.
I also have no info to pass on about any updates at this time. It's just that it's a good idea to back things up while it's quiet, and avoid a scramble for if/when final changes are announced.
Not that I am expecting an update to the forums, but a major update to the forums would be awesome.
