Forum Archive rebuild progress
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2016 11:11 pm
Hi guys,
This topic is just to keep all of you in the loop as to what is being done behind the scenes with the Forum and the progress we are making.
I have successfully merged the 3 restarts of the YaBB forum from 2003 to 2008.
I then worked on a conversion script to change the YaBB2 forum into an SMF2 Forum (Simple Machines Forum) and after almost 2 weeks of work have finally done it!
I will now attempt to convert it from SMF2 to phpBB3 (There is no direct conversion scripts available to go from YaBB to phpBB). Once completed (notice my enthusiastic optimism here? ), I can merge it with this current Forum.
I am trying to contact Tim the Inspector if anyone can help. Also, anyone else who was an Administrator on the last Forum can you please contact me.
