The 2012 Update

A big LEGO Message Boards update is scheduled for 2011 or later. What will happen is still a mystery. Miakittymoon sometimes refers to this as the "new MBs", which supposedly will be a huge update. Many users fear that the Great Migration may happen again in the new update, and they will lose their accounts. Other users fear they may lose their posts and ranks and studs and topics. Users have also said that if such a thing happens, they will retire. One example of this is when Dude777477, in 2010, threatened to retire immediately if he would lose his account in the future. Fortunately, he quickly got over it. Recently, Keighlan made a post saying that 2012 would be "the best year for the MBs", but she left it to the users to guess why. It's possible she could have been referring to the major update, but the true reason is unknown. This may refer to LMB 2.0 Alpha, Beta or direct launch.
