Just to lend some support to Ivo here - this forum is integral to GR's future

We gather all our bug reports, feature requests, etc. from this forum - we don't see any other suitable place to do that. The primary reason for separating the domains is simply so that Ivo & co. can maintain full control over the forum (which we believe is important, as they do an excellent job of it) and Markku and I can maintain full control over the GeneRally website. Previously, this would have required one or other of us to compromise, which we now don't need to do.
All the old forum and sub-domain links continue to work, and will do for the foreseeable future - this was a fundamental requirement when we considered changing the domains, so that all content could remain accessible. Furthermore, the link to this forum on the main GeneRally website is still prominently displayed so that people finding the game for the first time, can find the forum at the same time. I don't see any immediate reason why this should change!
All-in-all, a lot more thought and consideration goes on behind the scenes than may be apparent at first. GR wouldn't have the following it has today without the Ivo & co's hard work and perseverance - it would be mind-boggling to cut that hard work out of the equation
