JFC.
So, will any of our old posts be archived or is it just a raw number that will transfer over to IGN? Basically I guess what I'm asking is...will the boards and posts associated with them just be scrubbed from existence, or no?

Have you saved every piece of toilet paper you've ever used? I ask again, why would they save our posts?

User reg dates will be transferred over (whatever is the oldest date in the database)
Post counts will be merged with IGN Boards post counts.
Very nice.
The date was my main concern. Personally I wish I could have the date of my original account, which didn't survive the "_NEEDS_IGN_MERGE" event. I think that was around May of 2000.

On that note - any idea what the new URLs for the boards being merged will be?

That is sad to hear. Sounds like there is at least some justification to the timing but it is hard to believe things were managed/planned so poorly that it came down that close to the wire.
