Before you migrate to Xenforo, why not consider selling this forum to the pap. After all their IB is already providing over half of all threads for sometime already.
Unless your post is tongue-in-cheek, there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding over my intentions.
All I'm doing is migrating this forum database so that interactions by members are via xenforo instead of vbulletin.
I'm doing this because xenforo is kept up to date with the way the internet works in this day and age whereas vbulletin has not.
Nothing else changes. The domain remains the same ie
www.sammyboy.com and so will everything else. The membership don't have to re-register because all their data will be imported along with all their posts they have ever made since day one of vbulletin.
I'm not selling the building and moving somewhere else. All I'm doing is re-cladding the exterior, putting in new elevators and sprucing up the corridors. However all the crap and gems in the database will not be touched.
Moving from Delphi to vBulletin was a different kettle of fish altogether. I had to abandon the delphi database because there was no way I could it import it to this forum. I didn't even have access to the database because I didn't own it and neither did I own the Delphi domain. I was merely a subscriber.
