We will be able to keep our data when we move to vB

[Jeremy]

The following data will be kept:

- Usernames
- Email Addresses
- Join dates
- Threads / posts with dates
- Some profile stuff like Location

NOT passwords. Right before we move, JeremyBot will PM you your temporary password. NOT PMs. But you will be able to login here to view them whenever. I will also keep PMing open for some time so you can PM me here if something went wrong while you were trying to login to the new forum, etc. Some threads with tens of thousands of posts may not transfer if they break JeremyBot. Not Bells; we are starting over with them.

Free name changes when we first move.

User IDs- I'm not sure. When I did a test, most of them were in the right order, but some were randomly misplaced. For example, Bulerias had ID #1, and I was in the two thousands.

We might lock most threads after we move so it still feels new and fresh. What do you think?

Also, the transfer takes about 3 days, so the final posts at TBT ZB will not be transferred. I'm not sure how soon we will move after the data transfer, but whatever is posted between then will obviously not move over.

Posts ARE transferring, lol. Do you mean PMs?

Maybe we will allow name changes of current names depending when they last logged in (it would have to be years and they'd have to not have many posts).... and that would probably cost more Bells, lol.

Sounds good but I don't personally think that topics should be transferred over, but hey it's your site

^^^

makes it more of a fresh start.

maybe all but the most active topics are moved + locked, while active ones/ones with more than X amount of posts/pages (within a certain time frame) = unlocked?.. eh.

cool beans to know that all this info isn't for naught.

D'aww, I wanted to have a member number in the top 200 or so.

Oh and in regards to:

Would a member that has 8 posts and hasn't logged on in more than 2 years apply to this?

To be honest I kind if agree, I was sort of in favour of starting from scratch becauseafter all it is a brand new site.

i'm not sure and definitely don't speak for the admins, but i think they're trying to make the change as clean as possible, so that it feels like the change never happened to begin with.

otherwise we'd already be over there, i'm fairly certain.

Nice to hear you found a way.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Cool. Can't wait for the change to happen then.

 

[EpicGamer12]

Do you mean our actual post-count will be transferred?
Will the members who have never been on be deleted. That would seriously be better.

 

[Joe]

Looking forward to seeing the new site!
