Board software is likely NOT to be changed; there's an active user base and a long history of content that we don't particularly want to lose, not to mention the fact that I suspect some of you would be kinda upset if your post count went to zero and you had to create a brand new profile. For now, I think we're sticking with the devil we know for the message boards and general site architecture.
I for one would trade everyone' postcount for a message board that acts like every other messageboard I've ever been on. This one's handling of spacing and lists, for example, is bizarre. Advrider uses vBulletin, and other than not allowing three-letter search terms, it supports damn near 200,000 users in an easy to use format (though I find the user profile/avatar space next to every post a little oversized).

Check out the Classic Motorsports forum to see the future. There's some irony there.
Oh god I hope not. That stupid menu bar on the lefthand side takes up a third of my poor X60s' screen!
