Omg. Must own no#2 gimme!!

WOW! Simply amazing metallic purple shrimp! :clap: The possibilities are truly endless. Can't help think what a metallic blue/black would look like... Drooooooling!!!

There is a fair bit of stuff I want to bring to the forum and unfortunately, you can't install on the old version and simply port to the new. None of the old modification code is transferable. What is the modification code? Well, it's stuff like those trophies, post likes, user tagging, newest posts etc.... Each mod we have here is around $150 - $200 to buy (license + brand removal fee). It wouldn't be prudent to keep throwing money at an older version of the software when we would need to pay again for the eventual upgrade. Rather, whilst we have minimal number of mods, a more economical approach is to do the upgrade and then invest in the mods as this version will be around for a while. Which leads me into the new look and feel. Not sure where the facebook similarities are coming from as my facebook looks nothing like the forum? The old interface and the new are chalk and cheese, not to mention the ton of enhancements under the hood of the new version. The newer version is a lot "cleaner" in design and consistent with the new offerings of all the major players in forum software - it's not limited to just who makes our forum software. The reality is that people don't like change, I've seen it with every version of Windows since Windows 3.0. Embrace change, it can offer more opportunities. This forum is world class (we are only a few thousand posts behind shrimpnow) and deserves to be running with the best engine under the hood. I have no doubt that there will be some teething issues, but we'll get through them.

Me too why did we need a new one I loved the old one!

Not a fan. I hope with the tweaks it ends up somewhere close to the original.
