If one migrates to n2, is the n1 version of the forum gone?

Yes.

Michael Pengi wrote

The main question I asked in my op is, if n2 is n1 plus, why didn't all of the forums get migrated?

They will, just over the time. The main difference of n1 and n2 is that n2 is distributed. The benefits of being distributed is that we can just add boxes if one box is maxed out. Vs n1 will eventually max out if we don't migrate existing stuff off to distributed servers.

I looked at a n2 forum or whatever it's called and it looked very much like n1. So, would many n1 users have been against an automatic migration?

We removed the rating feature. Some people like it, but some are against it. But in general, the two are similar. We'll slowly migrate, but if people like to move right away, they can email us to request it.

It seems like you're going to end up carrying more than one copy of the same lists. You have the flex coders yahoo group/list in n1; it's great having it in nabble. I don't want to ask you to move it; but what if someone else does ask you, or what if someone looks in n2 and does not see flex coders, and then asks you to add it? Either it'll be gone from n1, if you migrate/move, or you'll have two copies, if you migrate/copy. I guess you don't care about the duplication?

Duplication is fine as archives are already duplicated in many places. People can now start duplicate archives on n2 and we don't mind, it's their freedom.

You sound like a sincere and intelligent person. So, I hope you don't mind me asking what is in N2 that you don't like?
