How are they planning to Implement OneD&D into DDB?
It seems to me that this forum, esp., will become a mess once there are two official sets of rules: one for the original Core Rules established in 2014 and one for OneD&D Rules established 2024. There will be far more inconclusive discussions because different individuals will be quoting different rulesets and it will likely be far more chaotic than what we have now.
There won't be two official sets of rules. The older rules will no longer be official.
Well, I guess that would mean that the players who want to mostly stick with the older rules will migrate off of DDB and onto EnWorld or other forums instead since the characters made using PHB 2014 rules will stop working after a while.

But there will still be two sets of rules discussions, unless they plan to go through and flag the old threads as deprecated.
As far as the community is concerned, what will happen is what has already happened with previous more-significant errata. Someone will necro a thread "correcting" what's said in it and someone else will point out that everything in the thread was true at the time, and then the thread will either die or turn into an argument about whether or not the rules change was good.
Probably the simplest fix would just be to rename this whole set "Legacy Rules" and start a fresh section for the update. Now, simple does not always mean easy, particularly when it comes to web design, so we'll see what happens. They're definitely not going to clone the site for an update.
Is it all that different from now? People asking about what their Aasimar can do, but need to specify which Aasimar. I guess the scale may be bigger. But really, it will hard to say until September when we see the extent of the changes.

It was my proposal that they just copy the format from this web sight and make a new one just like it for the D&D1 edition.
That would take very little additional computing time or storage space. As posts drop off here they will increase over there.

That would be lazy and stupid on the part of the D&DB.
Why confuse everything by mixing old and new rules since they are not just updating a few errata but the whole system?

New forums for the new rules would be best.
And this is a BIG update not just a few fixes.
