Moving to new host..
- Thread starter 50Cent
- Start date
I've moved a Zetaboards Forum before and it was a little rough, but it worked out in the end. Forumotion works by the same theory. By the rules of this site, I can't tell you how it is done (it is apparently illegal, although that is debatable). If you really want to know, add me on MSN.
I'll tell you in advance: you will only move your members and posts, attachments, signatures, PMs etc will be lost.
It's a lot of hassle, trust me. A lot of the posts on the new site were seriously messed up - but luckily they are old ones that matter little. Also, I had the benefit of having a loyal member base. Seeing as your forum is small, it may not survive it. Trust me, the transfer is a lot of hassle.
Now about the legal element of it, it's against the TOS of many hosts - but, there is no record of cases actually being taken. So it's fairly debatable about the fine, seeing as there is no precedent.
