Posted by: bhrobinson?I would not recommend modifying the historical data to "try" and make it fit the mold.?Forums and newsgroups are there for historical accuracy and reference said:
We don't work on production environments; the archive will remain untouched and we do have a backup of the archive which we have been working with on our development environments.Our archive is not at risk of being lost, we were lucky to have a backup from the very day the hosting provider was hacked thus we were the lucky few that didn't lost everything, otherwise there will be no archive today.Pure data dump wouldn't work; you may be looking at the website as just the forum as the old?website was not visited and/or relevant, our current website has tons of new features that are already providing results, our visits have skyrocketed more than 600% with this new structure and once we have relevant data even our archive will become relevant to new users.The phpbb was what you consider our old website; our forum is now just a piece of our website and we will build it to be the tool we all need it to be.If you wish to join us and look at what we are doing let's get together; I'm always happy to share with fellow members our plans, I haven't found most replies when we ask for suggestions maybe people are busy.?We need people to help us , join the BOD and help us make this community better.We have the archive, we have a website that works, we have a new forum that is friendly, let me know what else we can provide other than the data migration which we are already working on and yes come over and help us we can use all the help we can get.Thank you!
