My current plan is that people can just grab the avatars from the old forums then use them for the new. At least as it stands now my plan is to give users full control over their avatars, titles, and signatures.

Neat.

Ah yes, forums from the "lets just use one third of the screen because why would people want to make full use of their widescreen monitors? They should only be browsing the internet on their phones anyway!" school of design. Always a pleasure to see.

Will we retain our unique Forum name? Icon? Titles?

Everything will be gone and start afresh. I am wondering how Cordo will handle name sniping, I mean Aelonwy is not trademarked or patented, so how can he block me from using that in the new forums, without getting into a lawsuit?

He answered already in this thread:

True! This is probably hitting LOTRO first so we'll see how things go. It is true that we'll probably have a period of time where people have to grab their names again and start fresh; my plan is to deal with name sniping on a case by case basis but with a general guidance of "don't take someone else's name" and a default position of helping people get their old forum names again.

No lawsuit necessary. Don't take someone else's forum handle, with potential to ruin someone's reputation in and out of game.
