I myself am against logging into their new forums because they display your full name... to yourself. I don't mind seeing my full name but it begs the question, WHY is that info there? What are they going to use it for? They wouldn't just code it in with no plans.
But I don't like realid either and can't imagine people that signed up for it when it would show your 'friends of friends'.

I think a majority of that traffic has already shifted other places ... that's going to shift. Besides, we have enough dumb people, myself included   , here already.

I have to admit I laughed.
But for the original question. We may get a little busier but I wouldn't bank on it. People who have always lurked/trolled here will still be here. People who have always used the official forums will likely use them again, even if they are different.

We always get a lot of extra traffic here when a new expansion launches.
HINT to RILL.
Now, what I would like to see is Rill getting on Teddies ass to make all sorts of news posts about our forum on both the VE3D site and the IGN site in order to drive some traffic here. If we do this once a week, we might add a few dozen people here over the coming weeks.

The whole regulator_cracka thing made me remember....
I lived in an apartment for a while with two other guys. One of them had a funny sense of humor. He cut out the title portion of this box and stuck it to the bottom of a picture of the 3 of us. Still makes me laugh to this day.
