Switching Forum Software

[SSJ2]

If you decide to do this, I'll come over, but I do wanna say... Zetaboards #14leif

You wouldn't have a choice son, the new forum would carry this domain.

So everything, including old threads and post counts would remain if we switched?

That should be the case.

Ougi, do you have any knowledge of Python?

I know python

Would you be willing to give this a quick look?

Also, from phpBB, you can export your forum to other types like VB, I believe. So we wouldn't have to stay there.

I've seen this before.

Looking at it now the code is heavily dependent on regex. That means any minor change to a major facet that ZB made will ultimately break the script. It's worth a shot I guess.

So essentially, one small fuck up would ruin the transfer?

Also, trying to export the data would not fuck up this forum, would it? Because worse case scenario, we just cancel the transfer and continue life here.

It'd stop the code from running and dumping the database, but no, if the code eventually shits out a DB, any transfer issues should be fixable on the spot.

The script doesn't have any control over anything over here. It just tries to spider everything on this site and replicate it.

 

[SSJ2]

Well that is relieving, at least. I think I will give this a shot then. If it doesn't work, we just remain here.

If anyone is interested in trying to help, let me know. You will be rewarded.

This is starting to seem like a big commitment. Like, I've been going out with this forum for a while, things are going great, but now we're looking at buying a house together.

The baby is coming, too. 2 2 2

 

[SSJ3 Gothic]

I'll help however I can.

@shc :what

 

[Six Trails]

I'll help assuming it doesn't require something I don't know how to do.

Also, does the move have an impact on current advertising?

No.

If this crawler system works, all members will be transferred to the new board. If not, we just stay here.

...can just crawl to the new board.

When do you estimate you'll be done by?

 

[Satsuki]

You can hit me up for help if you need me to do something, my man

 

[SSJ2]

When do you estimate you'll be done by?

I honestly couldn't tell you.

 

[SSJ2]

Is this website all fucky for any of you?

https://www.forumatic.com/

I need this to make my free trial phpBB board.

 

[Satsuki]

It's like not loading properly, being all weird.

 

[SSJ2]

Ah, so this is why phpBB is not actually free. There are no free hosts for the forum service, it would be a monthly fee, which is fine.

 

[SSJ2]

Hold up. Does anyone have knowledge in domains? If I sign up for this forum host as dbzeta.net, what will happen to this site?
