Here is some architecture-level suggestion for your new system :
You should build a scalable architecture , that is able to connect with other system. Take me for example , I firstly used your WWWT -> UBBT , and when my community grew up , I want to induct other 3rd-party or custom web-applications (I am a java programmer) . But I want the same user-base , so , I have to dig into your database structure and session/cookie authentication mechanism. This is time-consuming.
If your new system includes [:"red"]"WebServices authentication and authorization interface"[/] or use of LDAP authentication , that admins can easily integrate your new forum with other systems , I think that will be a big appeal for the other world (Java/ASP.NET developers ...etc)
