Languavel

[Cierra]

Site name: Languavel
Site URL: www.languavel.net, forum is at http://languavel.net/forum/ (currently down while I put up another database)

Quick side note: So personally Languavel was ran as two separate components for a long time (languavel.net was the blog (articles, interviews, news, podcasts were posted) and languavel.net/forum was the web forum) and that worked well, but if you only wanted the forum you can just host the forum at languavel.net instead.

Site genre: Lifestyle (language, travel, general)
Site description:

Is the database up for sale the one currently shown on the forum? Do you have the database from 2018, before it was shutdown?

 

[Jason76]

Any connected social media accounts? If so, how big?

I was always very impressed by Languavel, so I'd be interested in this as well. I'd like to know the answers to the questions Thomas has asked.

Also, is there a reason why the premium style isn't currently attached to the forum? Is the style compatible with the most recent version of MyBB?

@Thomasss and @Cameron. Right now the forum would be for sale with the database shown currently, but I'm also working on acquiring the database from before shutdown. There was a snafu with hosting where all of Languavels on-host backups were deleted but I also made my own backups stored locally on my computer. Long story short the computer is older and not one I use anymore so while all the backups are definitely there I have to search for them. If not the 2018 database (which while being the most up to date you aren't missing much, Languavel had been quieter by then so I would estimate the only difference in the 2018 DB to be about +3-5 posts) then at least 2017. I should have an update by the middle of this week or so of my findings.

@Jason76 Yes, but with smaller followings and not active anymore of course. There is a Twitter account, Facebook account, and a YouTube account with one podcast we completed. Custom graphics are already on the accounts as well. Also, this is not really social media, but promotion threads/accounts have already been made at about 40-ish forum communities incl. the big name ones.

@Cameron. Not really. When restoring the backup I just wanted to get the forum back up running foremost so I didn't necessarily worry about aesthetics and just went with the theme already pre-installed on the backup. The theme was created based on a later version MyBB 1.8 so I definitely think it should be compatible with the most recent version. I do remember there was some custom work regarding integrating it with certain plugins (MyAlerts, Newpoints- two plugins I believe have went through updates since Languavel closed), so I have reached out to the original designer for clarification.

Okay, so an update: I was able to find both the 2017 and 2018 database. The 2018 database backup is mostly corrupted unfortunately but I was able to at least look into phpMyAdmin and see that the difference between it and the 2017 version was mostly negligible (only change was post counts- had 3 more posts and 2 threads). The 2017 database, on the other hand, seems to be fine but I will load it on to a test site to ensure.
The theme is compatible with MyBB’s current version.

The forum is back up and had been made compatible with the newest version of MyBB: https://testing.languavel.net/index.php.

[Ignore the few missing forum icons, am sourcing new ones.]

 

[Cierra]

The forum and domain have been sold. The custom theme is still up for grabs.

 

[Cierra]

Bump. The domain is back for sale.
