No. Probably what brought about the change was technology. Some of the older forum formats are no longer being supported. When a situation like that occurs, as the forum ages, there are not only security risks for all participants, there are no new updates and if the older forum software would crash all content could possibly be lost because there is no tech support to call. Could you imagine the wealth of information available on quilting board being lost? It would be a shame.
