As you know from our previous talks, this is what I thought would be best for the forums once the site redesign is ready to launch.

It's far more daunting to join a forum that already has established cliques and other bullshit going on... but when you're dealing with a brand new forum, the web is your oyster. :o

but we did this once before and it didn't really seem to impact much of anything. I don't really care either way, but if someone is too much of a pussy to join a forum because it says "2002" for someone's join date, they're probably going to be pretty awful anyway.
