I recently moved my site from an old forum system, http://laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl

the new site is located at http://laserpointerforums.com/laser_...forums_3/forum

I set it up so it redirects to the new site when users go to http://laserpointerforums.com

Questions:

1) The old yabb site has lots of links indexed in google. would it be better to just leave the old forum opened rather than have it redirect?

2) If so, should I change the title tag and keywords on the YaBB site so it doesn't conflict with new vBulletin site?

3) if i redirected yabb site to vbulletin site, would it 'leak' the old PR of the yabb site to the new vbulletin site?

4) what would you do if you were me in this situation

Thanks for your help!!

regards,
