Nabble1 is the old system from Nabble, which runs in http://old.nabble.com.
Nabble2 is the new system, which has a distributed architecture with several servers (like www, n2, n3 and n4).

New Nabble2 features are described in this page:
http://n2.nabble.com/Nabble-Latest-Features-f1559156.html

Nabble2 is faster and has less clutter. The main features are:
 - Better embedding;
 - built-in email subscriptions (you can post and reply by email);
 - Several interface options (forum, blog, news, gallery, etc.);
 - Privilege control on who can view and post messages (i.e., private forums)
 - Shared user accounts, as explained here.
 - Online/Offline indicator (per forum);
 - Stars to add/remove your favorite forums and posts;
 - Pin/Unpin topics (aka sticky topics);
 - Better user experience;
 - Spam control.

New features for Nabble2 are under development, such as:
 - Templates: will let you build the UI as you want and even create your own node-oriented system;
 - Custom sub-domains: you will be able to create a forum URL like myforum.nabble.com;
 - Social Networking;
 - Content management;
 - Modules.

You will probably have to wait a few months until you see these upcoming features in the new system.

If you plan to migrate your forum from Nabble1 to Nabble2, you must know that:
 - Ratings have been removed since they are commonly misused and affects user ego;
 - If you don't have an account in the new system, you will have to register again (accounts from the new system won't work on Nabble2)

Hi Justin, the answer is yes. This will be part of the custom domain implementation.
