Forum Migration message?

Man, that message at the top of this forum scares me.
This forum has such a wealth of knowledge and is a DeFacto community of peers, with which, we have developed relationships. If it gets wiped, or reorganized, it will negatively impact the knowledgebase as well as the relationships we've developed (ie the off-topic section, private message history, "tenure" and "experience" ratings etc).

Does anyone have the details of what's to come, as well as what's going to happen with this current forum?

Is Hexagon going to fire off another NJB (Next JogBox) flop, by implementing some engineering solution with ZERO "VOC" (Voice Of Customer) or end-user input?

Or is the sky falling and i'm chicken little?

You can view the leader board at the bottom right of the main PC-DMIS page.

Here's the link: PC-DMIS Users - Nexus Community (hexagon.com)

You can also hover over their profile / avatar to see how many points they have. All previous ratings (Guru, Demi-Guru etc) were converted to points when the forum was migrated into Nexus.

Hmm, not sure what the leader board shows but it doesn't reflect the old 'reputation' ranking order.

Also the points (on the leader board) don't tally with the points shown when you hover over the user.

I've got 12,209 points but I'm not on the leader board

Everyone is just offended that I am #1. Just kidding! I've contributed but there are so many people better than me on this forum.

If your forums work the way ours do, the numbers never match. There's some kind of hidden mechanism where your points are based on a "what have you done for me lately" system (or something like that). One of our two primary forums doesn't even register any of the reputation -- not that it really matters a LOT, but it can assist with knowing when someone (probably) knows what they're talking about vs not...

Profile score:

"Forum/Leaderboard" (?) score:

I think one of them is considered "reputation" and the other... is just a score? It's all fairly nonsense.
