The new system (being edited now) is totally separate from the old, 
so you'll have to register.  I also want to state that even though 
the Nuke system was entered by an unknown entity and appeared to try 
to to manual surgery by deleting a group of known V.I.P. posters, I 
feel that the person got very lucky.. they took my past statements 
that I'd do everything in my power to hang the person responsible for 
the prior attack, and this was a dare to them, a reason to keep 
living and working all night, all day, guessing passwords and poking 
around using web advertised exploits until they got in somehow.  Bots 
have also been known to do the same stunts, but I feel like the 
authors of the various models of PHP-Nuke floating around are tied to 
spammer activity somehow.  They leave these back doors unfixed and 
when you Google for a solution you get mostly people Asking for Help, 
but no Answers from the Nuke teams.  So, I'm moving away from Nuke.

The Forum section is phpBB2 but it's integrated into the Nuke 
framework... so we have the same issue as I did when I got away from 
Invision Power Board and the original forums which had more 
contributions than the current one, but both being stocked with valuable posts.

I do plan to translate all of the original forums and the current 
forums into an XML type flat file for retaining all of those valuable 
posts over the years.  Once the data is "XML'ed", so to speak, I can 
further translate into whatever, be it blog form or whatever.  To 
those who keep worrying about lost posts, I'll bring them back if 
they're in the database backups.. it's just a matter of time.
