And potentially in the long term including the overhead that comes with having to keep and use a very large lookup table for big boards (whether or not you're a monkey or on the moon.) I do appreciate you acknowledging the issue regarding SEO. There are no guarantees that changing your URLs won't affect you and it is all speculation as to what the overall net effect is from doing so.
The only thing I guess we can say safely from this thread is that even though there are concerns, a decision was made that they are minor in comparison to the benefits gained by creating vB 5 in this fashion. It seems opinions differ but the option to have the current URLs stay the same will certainly not be an option for VB 5. I guess that's all we really need to know. Thank you both for making the likely direction clear.
