I'm not sure if that would work out, since several forum games, such as "the person below you game" would have to be archived completely, and re-done from scratch. Of course that could still be arranged, nonetheless.

It would also mean the introduction of the "Moderators" user group. While I personally would be open to the idea of an additional user group, I'd still be largely midway between supporting and opposing the idea of using the newer format for forum posts.

If the older styled forums weren't so well established, I'd probably be all for supporting the use of the newer styled forums.
