EDIT: the upgrade is set for this Monday morning (October 4). Approximately 7:30 AM (EST / UTC-5).

Just a very early heads up for everyone:
We're planning to upgrade the forum platform from phpBB to vBulletin at some point in the near to medium future. Testing will begin next week (which won't affect you at all).
Why the change?
Well, phpBB is a good free forum platform, no doubt. But vBulletin is worth the money, from our experience. It's easier to administer, and has some really good plugins that phpBB is missing.
Also, once we've made the change, we're planning to integrate a garage feature - a much better way to show off our rides. (I think there was a garage on AveoClub at one point before Tim (daox) and I got involved, wasn't there? Not sure why it disappeared.)
But aside from that bonus, you won't notice a huge change. All the usernames/postcounts/threads/posts/attachments etc. will be preserved.
Just wanted to let you know what's coming down the road for the site. I'll post updates in this thread when we're getting closer.
