Been at this for 2 solid weeks without a break. Learning cPanel, SMF, and whatever got thrown my way. But the Brawl Domain, after suffering for almost 2 years on Proboards, has made the leap onto our own hosting, and on SMF. May not be the favorite software around here ... but I LOVE it. Perfect for everything our forum needs and more.

Once I give some time for members to log on and make the jump ; I'll be redirecting my .com name over. But for now, I've also purchased brawldomain.net , which for now is the new forum url

http://brawldomain.net/index.php

A New Era has begun, and I'm so excited.

Special Thanx for this possibilty go out to:

TayneC8, who provided me with a testing cPanel & SMF forum to learn everything from scratch.

Shotgun, who may not think so, but he really helped me in deciding the perfect hosting, and what exactly my forum would need when deciding so.

Kirisute Gomen, who can verify I had absolutely no clue what I was doing at first, but he guided me along the way, and really made this transition much smoother day by day.

el canadiano, who approached me and help get this conversion started, and prepped me on everything I need to be ready for.

nneonneo, the man behind converter, and the answer to my dilemna for the past 18 months of wanting off proboards. Just met him yesterday, and within 24 hours, had my forum converted, and ready to go! You the man, bro.
 
You left ProBoards? Traitor! 😛

Well, good luck with the new forum software and all that.
 
Wow that is wonderful news. Maybe now your forum can get the attention it deserves. 🙂
 
There is a converter to convert proboards to something else?

Good Job on getting yourself on SMF.
 
:shock:

I remember way back when, it's been a long trip man. Glad to see the community switch over to something that can never die (at some point almost every ProBoards converter will disappear, but other software will always welcome a convert to them if SMF stops being updated).

Great job on the switch, and can't wait to see what you can really do with the stuff now :great:

I'm surprised nneonneo had the time to do it for you, but whatever. It's great he did it over me, to be honest. He's the real wizard.

None of the crawlers are on SMF.org, at least last I checked.
 
New forum looks awesome!

But you should've gone with PhpBB instead

And cause even more trouble... I am sorry,but SMF is defiantly the right choice for hcf.

Btw man if you need any help get me a call 😀.
 
Congratulations on moving to your own hosting, HCF. It's been a long time coming, like everyone has said, but it was well deserved and I wish you the best of luck with the site!
 
Congrats!!! I with you the best in the new era of your board 🙂

It's actually possible to convert all posts from a proboards to a new host like that? And accounts? I never knew! It's the main reason I've always thought my board is stuck where it is for good.

check the converter forum 😉
 
A converter forum? Like...it takes posts, post DATES, accounts, account post counts and info and all that and just basically carbon copies it all to a new board???

If that's true, sorry for sounding so naive. By converter forum you mean a forum on here where this process can be discussed?
