I saw someone else already ask for this -- seems reasonable given Telligent claims to have the data already extracted from the old forum, and it's been about 1 month since the old forums was taken down.
Any format would be ok -- be it SQL or raw text. Just kill out the user tables to prevent leaking password hashes or people's profile info.

I'd be surprised if this happened (to say the least), normally when you hit the send button on a forum your post then belongs to "them". I'm always happy to be proved wrong. [:)]

Actually we are looking at options for how to put the old forum data back online as an archive.

I would rather see the dump imported in a new vBulletin forum that is run by the community since there is a serious lack of democratic decision making regarding the migration of the forum.



Also does anyone know how to speed-up this process, or request the dump- what has been done already?

Re: Speed up the process



Telligent must be hand-keying all the data in... otherwise any scripted or even half-manual import should have been finished long ago. Without any actual information from them (other than PR Department filtered half-statements from Jenn and empty promises to get additional information from Rob), we are left guessing in the dark as-to why it's taken a month to get the data imported. My vote at this point, and with no additional information, is on pure incompetence.

The import completed this weekend (I briefly noted this in the forum). We now have all of the content available both as a read-only version of the old forums and the newly imported content. I posted this earlier: https://community.zimbra.com/zforums914 ... ity-update
