If they do reconstruct the general forum and bring it back, it would be nice to have your own MOD tools so you can delete the thread, lock the thread, besides "sticky"
Oh and if you can re-edit your main post if you're the OP.

So if a thread got bad, you could lock it if its valuable to read, and if it has lots of information, or just delete the thread if things got to worse.

Maybe even adding the option to remove someones comment's although this can be bad maybe, but good too if someone derails a thread, plus you can delete all the negative flame wars and stuff on your thread, but still this could be a bad idea/good idea both.

If you have idea's that seem contributing, and might help the company, feel free to drop them in the comment box=]
