intend to deprecate the old ones and just use the ones in the forum since they are better.
If by ancient you mean the one that is shown in the profile page, I would suggest that you do not deprecate it, because the forum PM may not be used by many people who do not visit the forums. I for one use the personal page messageing system to talk to people on subjects related to their photographs and use the forum PM to talk only about forum related matters.
