Sure, why not.
Actually as a result of this mayhem we ended up with two forums that are exactly the same (with the exception of a big fat SQL error on the upgraded one). We have two databases now, crazy as it is, but this means that these forums will not go down again unless something catastrophic happens at the datacenter like a meteor impact. In less apocalyptic words, you will suddenly see the forums switch to v2.0 without any downtime. They will be reverted back to how the forums were a few hours ago, however these forums will remain online for transfers.
I will not touch these forums anymore, just the URL once the upgraded forums are working.
