Here we go

Ah, that's right. I'd thought they might have been encrypted (I looked at databases on one of my dismantled forums and it was all garbled) but possibly not. Argh security breaches!

And I don't know if I could get the posts integrated... may just be better to archive the old LF (on a different server, mind you) and make it read only or something.

I am working on the smilies now. Thanks!

But giving away the files is not that easy, as all the user-data such email adresses and PMs are saved. If I'd have been am member I would be angry if someones gives that away freely. ^^ I only offered him this because he wanted to integrate the old posts.

Surely it's possible to seperate the personal information from the public posts. I'd like to reverse the file format into something useable, because until Ksoft converts the posts, they are not available. :cry:

Only the password is encrypted. But Posts and Userdata are seperated. I could make the posts available to all.

I replaced now the old forum with a message to go here. It took a while to get damn perl working, but it finally did.

I guess this message will cause A LOT of people to register here. xD

I have returned from the grave.

Well, it seems each time we have a forum we have new ideas for it too, which give us some fresh topics (ie Level list). Maybe that'll happen this time too.

An upload feature would be pretty awesome I think. Maybe not necessary, but still great.

Ah...now, here's a good opportunity to change my avatar...

It would be really nice if that could be done.

Are you going to do this?

The old forum has now officially died.

Andi · June 26, 2006, 11:30:06 AM

Get the old Posts here.

I can't help you with the file format because I don't know it. =P So you're on your own. If something is missing just tell me.

I guess we have to just move on.

I'm starting to see a little similarity between us and our ridiculously adorable green-haired brethren. After all, there's been two migrations, and a lot of Forumers lost to the sweeping wilds of the internet with each one...

I've made an ugly, but usable, front-end. I'm going to have to add a BBCode parser.

@Mindless: Youre incredible!
@Andi: Thanks! I have the files on my disk now.

Nothing proven yet, but I have suspicions that the reason these forums die is because everyone finally finds their way back to it and makes a bunch of posts and topics. The question:how do we stop that from happening to every forum? If that keeps happpening, then we'll just keep migrating forums until nobody knows which forum still works. :smiley: :huh:

Note: this isn't an invitation to become depressed and post depressing posts as I've seen some people(myself not exempted) do.

EDIT: why does it say beach lemming by my name? why am I not an Uber-lem, or a, a, umm...Really good title lem, like Emperor lem?
