I too am not looking forward to the next version rollout and for the very same 
reasons.  The only thing I'd like to see as to "more fora" would be a definite 
"split" into versions.  Yes, version split fora would still wind up with people

- but then you'd have to leave a link to the moved post.... *sigh*  Well, it was 
just a thought....
