+The forums won't dissapear. The only downside is that users will need a
+second password. But this should be negligible compared to the giants
+benefits this will bring. If you read maat's emails you'll understand
+that all the problems on the forums are caused by the incompetent
+sysadmins and their awful setup, so all of this should disappear, and
+everything will be perfect.
