It's a bit of a problem for me in my position of having just removed mailing list properties from a forum attached to a failed list, and mass invited users to register at Nabble 1. Apart from that, is there any benefit from re-registration if ultimately Nabble 2 will replace Nabble 1? If entering the Nabble 1 url simply redirects to Nabble2, Nabble 1 is no longer available to the users anyway. I'd strongly suggest  dropping the re-registration requirement, and maybe display a redirect page for a time that explains the forum has moved to Nabble 2 and has improved functionality. If you can drop the re-registration requirement I'd certainly like to migrate to Nabble2 as soon as you can arrange things. If not, rather than send out another mass invite, perhaps I should wait until Nabble 2 has the subscribe facility and then invite users of all my forums to Nabble 2. But for me this is second best to just migrating and making the experience seamless for the users.

Thanks
