As you can tell, the biggest one of our "improvements" is moving from Ikonboard to phpBB 3! I've been promising this since July and I'm finally delivering.
This was a surprising amount of work, since the #1 priority was to keep our almost 300,000 posts and 270,000 members. Recreating a custom theme to look similar to the old forums was no easy task either.
Notes:
* phpBB mods! phpBB is MUCH more flexible and customizable than Ikonboard. There's almost no limit as to what we can do now (e.g. song ratings). If you think a particular phpBB mod would be useful on here, then make a topic about it on the new Forum Talk forum. Which brings us to...
* New Forum Talk forum! This is self-explanatory. See the sticky over there.
* New smileys! We think that these smileys would be more appropriate for the kind of discussions here.
* A search feature that works! I can't lie. The Ikonboard search was terrible. This one works the way you expect it to work and is much more powerful.
* New style(s)! By popular demand! There is one other style available at the moment, and I'll probably add a few more.
* Less spammers! We (the staff) now have several ways of keeping the spam posts at bay now.
* New moderators! Coming soon!
* Thanks to the beta testers for, well, beta testing!
* If you need some information that somehow did not carry over, please PM me directly.
* I made a script that allows all of the old Ikonboard links to still point to the proper post/topic/forum/user/etc. This will allow all of the old links to still work, such as the song database links in the FoF Wiki.
* There's still some minor touch-ups to be made, so bear with us while we get them fixed up.
Enjoy!

I like this rainbow whatever style. The choice of the logo that you put in place of the frets on fire one is a bit confusing though XD

The quick reply mod was left out on purpose. There's a chance that I'll still install it, but no time soon.
