The Forum software is going to be upgraded to SMF 2 in one week, MKPortal will become outdated and unusable, so the gallery and downloads will be moved into new gallery system.
The forums are getting upgraded? Sweet. Will you be changing the layout, or will it be the same as before?
The layout will be greatly changed; instead of the MKPortal, we will probably have to just use SMF. This means the gallery, downloads and shoutbox (and whatever else is a part of that) will be dropped as well. I'm not sure how Duce plans to do anything with a shoutbox, but people will be able to upload their images directly onto the forum (like they can now) and if anyone's being a bad little boy, we can hide those boards from him.
