thesoulman Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Will the topics and number of posts you have from the old boards be carried over to these? Otherwise, I would feel like I wasted days of my time on there for nothing then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sharpe Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 That would be unlikely, unless IF offers a service to do it. But I would not count on it just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilaussie Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Probably not. But there's no real loss, if they are recovored and the Mod's/Admin decide to stay here, they will keep the old forums as an archive. Therefore, not everything would be lost.

Viridia Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah and post count means nothing o.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaticHod Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Well I lost all my old topics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum T. Gundraw Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I believe it has been said that the old forums will remain as a giant archive once they have been brought back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgmmaster Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 That would be unlikely, unless IF offers a service to do it. But I would not count on it just yet. They offer a service to transfer stuff over, but you have to pay an amount of money for it depending on the size of your forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldomar Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 They offer a service to transfer stuff over, but you have to pay an amount of money for it depending on the size of your forum. So we'd probably all have to chip in a hefty bit of change to help the Admin out if we wanted all that transferred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 The cost to move a board as large as ours off IF is extreme and there is no gurantee that it will work after an IPB conversion. With the way the database is still acting up over there (they still haven't fixed the problem BTW) and the fact that we're already over here and getting settled makes the idea of paying to move the old boards over here really not worth it. We haven't made a final decision as to which boards we are going to stay on, that really depends on IF and if/when they correct the database issue. If we do stay here then the IF boards will be placed as a read-only archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaBuc Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 when did this happen? and how? This was covered 2 days ago... the database on IF Server 15 screwed itself, thus destroying most topics on the forums. -Bama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitauts Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Can some selected topics be transferred? I am thinking of Treaties. We only have drafts of our treaties in our forums, the real treaties were posted onthe CN forums and we linked to them in our forums. Fortunately we did not have that many..

amiles Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I think these forums are better but I wouldn't mind it if I could move topics over to these forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingEsus Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 ... the fact that we're already over here and getting settled makes the idea of paying to move the old boards over here really not worth it.

Wouser Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 A other question to the mods... when this new forums will be our new home. Will the forum layout be changed? Because to be fair the standard skin is really well you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingdom of Royalty Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) I think it would be a great shame if the content wasn't carried over, if it was integrated with the new forums it would be fantastic, and i'm sure it's possible. Hopefully it will be back up soon as I used to use it's search to find answers to questions I have.
