Not to worry! Our dilligent CGI and Java programmer Shivam Surve has worked tirelessly to develop this new, much more powerful forums program. The format is much neater than that of the previous one. Also, with user registration required, it is now much easier to connect with fellow chatters on the boards. Moreover, this also gives the administrators the power to filter out those who post unwanted junk mail, or litter the forums with dozens of meaningless messages. The only real downside to our transition to this new format is the fact that all previous messages had to be erased, and many good conversations were muted. But it's better now than later. Besides, this will encourage people to chat even more now if they still have something to say!

True, this new format will take a little getting used to, but in the long run it's well worth the change.
