Due to the age (over 8 years) and sheer size (around 3.5 million posts) of the board, it has become increasingly difficult to fix bugs, including the current problems with preserving automatic login and with combating against spambots. We are considering to start anew with a brand new installation of phpBB that will make things more manageable in this regard.
Making this move would result in the following: --All existing posts and threads would be archived on a separate URL, and no additional posts will be allowed on those archived threads. --However, you would still be able to login to the old board and access your private messages and other information, if need be, as well as to search for old post information, and either manually copy & paste or link information to the new board. --You will need to reregister for the new board, and your post count will be reset as a result.
If we do proceed with this move, it will happen on New Year's Day. However, please let us know any opinions that you have on this move!

Can we reset our reputation as well?
You can try, but I think people will know it's you even if you get a new name.

Someone needs to design a graphic for the top of the page.
