Please also note that if a thread OP does not have an account on AHQ, none of the content they have on these forums can be migrated.
That might disqualify some of the older nominated threads. Especially for those OPs who haven't visited the forum in ages and will be unaware of the need for an AHQ account.
To follow up on this, there are a couple of things that are not clear to me because they have been worded rather ambiguously:
(1) If we do not currently have an AHQ account, but create one between now and the end of the nomination period, will those threads be migrated, or only if the OP had an AHQ account at the time that the thread was created?
(2) Will all nominated threads be migrated, or will the TS4 team be making its own determinations to pick and choose between nominated threads? If the later, will there be any transparency about what percentage of nominated threads will be migrated and what criteria will be used to make those selections?
If stats are not going to carry over fully for everyone, and will instead be based solely on whatever gets migrated, that's already not ideal... but I would particularly hate to think that some forum users could end up with artificially high or low stats based solely on whether the mods have personal biases for or against certain people and factor those feelings into what gets migrated. (Whether consciously or unconsciously.)
1. If you create an account before the migration, all of your content from Oct 2022 will be moved as well as any nominated threads you were the OP of.
2. The goal is to move everything nominated. We can't move content if the thread OP doesn't have an account on AHQ, and I cannot tell you if they do or don't for legal/privacy reasons.

Will post count from the current forum be keep by members on the new forum?
Post counts will increase on AHQ by a value determined by the number of posts/comments that migrate.
IE:
If you had 100 threads and comments on these forums that are moving, and have 20 posts already on AHQ as well (AHQ does not differentiate between threads and posts like Vanilla does), when migration occurs your threads/comments from here move over and you end up with a 120 post count on AHQ/EA forums.
