What happens to the old Forum pages when the newer Forum feature is activated?

On one wiki I admin at, some time ago it became the standard practice to use old-style Forum: pages for things that it was felt were worth having around, but a little off-topic or excessive for the main namespace. Since then it has ballooned into a pretty big thing. We are now looking to implement the new-style forums, and are discussing additional custom namespaces we can move the current Forum: pages into. With a bit of repetitive clicking and bot use to help change existing links I think the change will be mostly painless, but still not instantaneous. If switching to new Forums will wipe the old stuff away, dealing with this will take higher priority.
