Gaijin, please restore users' original forum join date

I originally joined WT forum more than 10 years ago and now I’m being treated as a n00b. I see most people having problem with this. No matter how many times you change your forum software, original join date still should apply. Gaijin, you can’t just erase 10 years of users’ data under a pretext of a “new and improved forum.” I see the comments on the move are overwhelmingly negative, but you just double down on this.
If you are unable to import this data, at least put when a players originally joined this game.

If you just delete your customers’ contributions at a whim, people will be less willing to contribute, as you might do it again in couple of years. Not good, not good…

Showing the registration date of your War Thunder account would be another solution rather than showing the original date you joined the forums.

In addition to that, an easy way to see the amount of battles a player has should be added. The opinions of a player with 1500 battles, will vastly differ from one with 15,000 battles. It shows us who has more experience than others.

Right now number of battles and Beta medals are hidden in user’s profile. To show this in each post (like it was with the old forum) they would have to change the layout of the page and who know if they are willing to do this (and if they can with this software). If they cannot bring back the features of the old forum, the whole move to this was very shortsighted and rushed anyway.

Yeah…that is right…it’s a badge of honor, how long we have stayed true to this game. please restore the correct date
