Moving nabble forums

Question for you all.
This forum is currently on the old nabble system. If we move to the new nabble we get a great degree of added functionality such as:
Nabble2 is faster and has less clutter. The main features are:
 - Better embedding;
 - built-in email subscriptions (you can post and reply by email);
 - Several interface options (forum, blog, news, gallery, etc.);
 - Privilege control on who can view and post messages (i.e., private forums)
 - Shared user accounts, as explained here.
 - Online/Offline indicator (per forum);
 - Stars to add/remove your favorite forums and posts;
 - Pin/Unpin topics (aka sticky topics);
 - Better user experience;
 - Spam control.

All of these are nice but the stickies would be a BIG help. We could then have a sticky devoted to places to buy parts. I have a list of like 30 places for different things. Other things could be made stickies as well.
FAQs for certain procedures such as brake jobs or carb tricks.

I think it is a good idea. What about the rest of you?
We could even have a members rides sticky.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

I'm in . . . anything easier is + with me

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." - Winston S. Churchill

Most motorcyclists live more in five minutes than other people do in their entire lives.

when you mix religion with politics you get politics

people say I'm condescending (that means I talk down to people)

GO for it.  Wasn't this on nabble2 for a while?  Seems like mine switched, and then switched back...Biggest thing I liked was how it keeps the threads in-line...Since no one seems to hit reply on the correct sub-thread.

OK that is 3 so far besides me. I will let this go for the weekend and then send it to the site admins for migration.

Any other opinions on moving to the newer nabble.
The url is not supposed to change, it is supposed to auto direct.
So getting back to the site should be no problem.

It might be a little easier to find things. I'm not on this site much but I like it. It's just a bit more difficult to navigate than others.
