The process is beginning on moving to a new forum software.
If you are aware of any spam that's still out there, let a moderator know so we can delete it; we want to avoid bringing that crap over. I'll work on filtering out a spammer user list for Mr Webmaster to look into deleting.
There's no rush, it'll all get tested prior. We'll let you know before the Big Bang...

- The forum database is currently being backed up as a safety net, in case things go pear-shaped; worst case, we end up where we are right now (would really hate to lose today's posts...)
- Once that's complete then Mr Webmaster is building a test forum in an alternate location, restoring today's DB to that test area, and testing the upgrade process from old to new.
- Once testing is satisfactory, he'll install the new software over the existing live database.
- Configuration and customization of new site.
