Forums could be in for a rough ride.

I received an email today from our webhosts, saying that, for various reasons we must upgrade the version of our forums.
However, the integration of the forums with phpNuke (the system which is used to manage the rest of the site) means that an upgrade is not going to be easy.
The site redesign, which I put the occasional hour into when I get one, would solve this problem, as I plan to take the entire system away from the phpNuke model and allow more flexibility in what we can do. However that is not really ready yet as much of the game page side of things only exists inside my head.
What I may have to do for now is throw up an external copy of the WoK forums (say on forums.kaomaris.com) which will allow us to continue posting, but is not very satisfactory as links/bookmarks will be messed up, the theme of the site and more importantly, the login information will be broken. If anyone has suggestions/has had to do something similar themselves then please shout up.
btw. It will be possible to keep the current user and post information after an upgrade.
