Except it's in thousands and thousands of files, apparently, and Toady's only way to back them up would be to download via FTP. I'm sure you can imagine how long that would take. He has no shell access and no file backup utility.
I suppose he could probably use a PHP or Perl script to create a big Tarball out of them since he can't do it via shell...

The conversion process is read-only though, so no real worries about that. The forum just needs to be locked while it takes place so that no data on this original forum changes during the process.

Seems like everything made it in decent shape.

Double Post!  He he h e...  but yeah, 14 hours later, things seem okay so far.  It'll be a little weird with the dates until there's a post in every section, and I still have lots of links to clean up throughout the website.

Oh yeah, all signatures seem to have lost their first letter!  Dunno what's up with that.  Links might have to be repaired too.

 Whoo! New forum!!!

 There seems to be something odd with logging in. Before we had a separate login username and forum username. Now we only have a forum username.

 Not that I'm complaining. And we can have spaces! And periods! I'm very glad this forum supports that.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Yeah, displayed name and login name had to be squashed together during the move.

And there's this sort of thing:  http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=14904.0

I have no idea what's going on in there, but it gets squashed when you scroll down.

Looks like some HTML in Kagus' signature is causing it.

Okay, I've edited it out.  It was an open <a> tag (which hopefully people can't just re-type in themselves).  I guess there might be a few more of them.

Good lord, my eyes are bleeding. I'll miss the old forum (even though the software sucked).
