Hey Hal,

I'd rather not start over. I've found that I have some pet boards (photography, electronics...good idea analog) that I'm fond and proud of. Yes, maybe archiving these and bringing them back would be a great idea.

As for everyone going back to posts=0 mode, it doesn't seem to have any benefit other than a shortened down time. For me, waiting an extra day or two is worth the wait. I also think this helps in more subtle ways: when new members ask questions and get a reply from an "avatar'd" user, it reinforces to them the commitment and comfort level of our home.

On the other hand, as a programmer in a previous life, I can only say that new features can often make your life much easier.

So here's my proposition: VB3 board, retain status for members and donors, down time is a mere two to three days, plus archives.

Good luck. And thanks so much for asking us. This place is really cool.
