I was with classic for many, many, many years (can you say freeware?), and resisted the urge, but a PHP/MySQL forum is far more resource friendly, especially on larger forums. Also the new features coming out are also good as well... Since Classic is EOL, it'll likely never be worked on again, hell the lead developer on the project isn't even with the company anymore...
