Time for a change?

I have long put this off, but it's time to consider something. This forum version that we all know and love is way out of date. It is barely supported by Invision at this point. Invision has been encouraging me to update to the most current version for some time, but I have put it off. The reason is that while we will gain a great deal, we will also lose a few things like some of the skins here that we all use. none of that is transferable.
I have been using the more modern skins at my other two forums, trekpropzone.com and propfixs.com and they do have some amazing things, and considering the lack of support, are things that are worth the switch.
As I understand it, all posts and such will transfer over it's more a matter of learning the new forum and look of the new skin(s).

In all honesty, lets do it! Is there an estimated time that you think the switch is going to happen? Days, months, weeks?

I basically set it to TOS and never change it, but if we loose it oh well, I'll adapt!
Will we keep our ranks? or do we start over and have to come up again?!

The turkey and cranberries are the functionality (which IMHO is already nice - quick edit, I'm looking at you!), and the content.
So, provided we get a tastier, moister turkey upon which to smear our interesting and witty cranberries (there's life in the old metaphor yet!), I say UPGRADE AWAY!

I don't imagine we're active enough to pull in much in the way of ad revenue for you *disables adblocker on this site*
EDIT:

On the other hand, I've used other Invision boards that have been upgraded, and it hasn't always been a pleasant experience for me. On newer computers the upgraded boards are fine, but on older machines, they tend to move at the speed of a slug. (I don't know if this is Invision's fault or the way the other webmasters have things set up, but it's something I feel is worth noting.) Nothing is worse than trying to type a message and "ha...v....i...n..g......i..t......re...n...d...er......l..ik...e...th..i..s
." I could be typing the "d" in "render," and the message won't even have the "v" in "having" on the screen yet. (Just imagine typing in slow

Guys I'll be moving on this soon as I can. I want to make sure that I have time to commit to fallow though once I start.
