Welcome to the new KR Forums!
Yes, they are very similar to the old ones. Basically, the problems we were running into on the old setup (corrupted messages, people unable to log in, etc.) was being caused by the Forums being tied into the Website itself, and into the Photo Gallery as well. All it took was one bug to gradually begin causing problems over time, which I didn't catch until it was too late to correct.
The forums are now stand-alone, as is the Photo Gallery. Your sign-in for one will not affect the other (You don't need to sign into the Gallery unless you want to post your own art).
One of the benefits of rebuilding the Forums is that a lot of little features we could not enable before have now been fixed and enabled, such as the Main / Alt PC listing, and the Jump To menu on each screen. Please take a moment to visit your profile and make sure to update everything about yourself, such as your Signature (with your OOG name) and your PC's name(s).
The old Forums will be active until January 4th. That evening, before I leave for the event, they will become Read-Only. After that, they will remain available in that state for about a month before being shut down. Please take this time to make sure you copy over any PMs, Posts, or other information you want to keep.

The old Forums are now Read-Only. They will be taken down after the Feb 2nd, 2008 event.
I've transferred over all the Calendar appointments from the old Forums, so we have a reference as to when events were.

REMINDER - Old Forums going down after the festival.
Whether or not I decide to crash the new ones at the same time depend on how well the Giants are doing on Sunday while I am working on it.
