The old site

It's a pity that some of the good threads from the old site can't be imported into this one. Never mind, we will just have to build this up.

Unfortunately there is currently no convertor available from the old forum software (YaBB 2.4) to this one ( phpBB 3.0.7), and I'm not sure if there ever will be.

There is a round-about possibility using different software again (SMF) as a stop-gap, i.e. Yabb - SMF - phpBB as convertors exist for each step of this route, but even if it were possible, I'd need a database backup from the old site.

Get posting! :D

perhaps copying & pasting the interesting topics or putting the links up from the old forum would do ?

I wanted to copy/paste all my posts from the other forum, BUT I'm expelled (AGAIN) and can't get to the (Members only viewable) pages..
Sean Doherty (Shaun) is no longer re-instating expelled members..

A temporary "MODERATOR" Status would resolve the problem, and as I have 12-15 hours EACH and every day at my computer, it would only take me a couple of days to transfer most of the important relevant posts..

Baz, I have asked Sean to close the old site down as soon as possible and remove the BSS logo so that could now be the reason you cannot get back.

We should take advantage of Basil's kind offer, and get him re-instated if only for a couple of days and then shut the old site down forever.

The Gordon Huntley Thread alone would warrant saving, and all the videos that members posted COULD be resurrected easily..
I've got the time and the inclination :guitar: :guitar:

can we get a backup of the old site before it is closed down, so we have the data to import if/when we find the way to do it?
