Please confirm 100% before you make the transition that the forum integration will survive the merger.

What is left of forum integration is posting to the boards, which is using SSI. The files in the BM repository will have to be updated with new board numbers and such, but that should be all there is. We should do this on the test instance and point it to the new forum before it goes live. The new forum will be set up in parallel to the existing ones, so we have time to test and then we will put the old forums to maintenance mode so no new postings can be made, copy over the databases one more time and that's it.
