... and who knows what happens to posts?

If the new official TESO forums will use IPB too, which is more than likely as it'll be cheaper than licensing or building anything new, can we expect a fresh and from zero board or will you merge this subforum and it's users into it?

Do we need to re-register to it again? Or will we transfer automatically?

If not, can we get a headstart or an option to reserve our nicknames?

Will you export the threads and posts of the temporary boards to the new one?

Or will it just be an anouncement and first come, first served afterwards?

Will I ever get an official response?

Answers, oh Answers, but who dares to ask the right question?!

The accounts will most likely not transfer automatically. I will be surprised if threads from here are moved to there too, but at least I see a minor chance of that being possible.

If they stick to IPB, it's easily done to take a sub forum and use it for fresh one. User accounts are as easily copied as threads and posts, since they all are just db entries. But it still takes some effort. And, of course, the will to do so.
