I've noticed that http://www.reddit.com/r/dragonrealms already exists. Is there a reason we wouldn't use this instead of the current forums. You could copy the CSS and styling from http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv to allow posters to split out the sections based on interests, you can update it with the DR flair, you can search by user to see what the GMs have posted, you can link to specific posts much more easily, you can keep threads mostly contained, you can tag posts as questions or guild specific etc.., it's easier to moderate, there's nothing really to "move", and it's better at allowing posters to identify useful content.

>>Reddits format has some serious pros and cons.

It is nearly impossible to emphasize this point hard enough. Reddit has been the source of both some good communities and some absolutely horrendous, illegal content. All love to those who come to us from the MUD reddit, but hopefully you guys more than anyone else understand it's not really feasible or appropriate for us to pack our bags and move.

>>Would it be feasible to upgrade the play.net forum engine?

Not my domain, unfortunately. The only thing I really know is what Solomon has publicly said: there's security concerns using 3rd party software and plugging it into the Simu billing/account database. As to Simu upgrading its own forums, that's something I just don't know about.

>>Jhaliascleric: Reddit . . . is pretty terrible for flow of conversations.

This.
