The purpose for starting stripers247 was simple. I wanted a place where guys who were addicted to striper fishing like me could come and learn more about this awesome fish, network, exchange ideas, and teach others different ways to approach the sport and possibly even get together and fish with each other. There really wasnt any place where beginners could come and feel completely comfortable asking questions. There were also very little data and virtually no forums for the Hybrid striped bass. Most of the bigger and well established boards catered to the saltwater striper guys. I wanted to include the sweetwater and the hybrid fishermen with their own forums from the interior United States as well as East Coast fishermen and surfcasters. In doing so I found some facinating similarities and differences between all groups.
The hard fighting Hybrid or "Wiper" fascinated me as well. The Hybrid is the cross of the white bass with the striped bass. Most crosses are created by mixing roe from female true strains with the sperm of a male white bass. When the reversal is done (crossing a male striped bass with a female white bass) this is known as the reciprical cross.
Ours is a quiet little place where members help and respect each other. We are striving to keep on top of that.
You need to get rid of that phpbb2 directory name. That is not a good thing to have. It's confusing and looks wierd to the viewer. Just use a 301 redirect for the old threads and it will all be good by the next Page Ranking update.

Yes thank You
I wasnt sure how to do that. There were so many links out there with phpBB2 extension that I just kept it that way.
It had been suggested by others to do so as well.
You will find that the damage that will be caused by people thinking it's too weird will be far greater then any search engine hicup. As long as you 301 from /phpbb2/ to /forums/ or whatever you want then all pagerank and links will transfer.
That's why I like vBSEO. It 301's everything for me and I can add a new redirect easily.

Actually, your link structure is totally changed now anyways since the import so all your google backlinks are already hosed. So just change it and submit a sitemap to google afterwards.
