SMF Support > Converting to SMF
possible to convert an old style ezboard?
Egg:
ez to phpBB seems to be working. its a laborius process though, but as its the only option...
works better on the smaller forums in teh board..
larger forum with over 5000 topics took about 4 hours, and i got to wondering if it was still working....or jsut looping...
it got them all in the end...
4 more forums to do, and then convert to SMF
[Unknown]:
I might try reverse engineering the phpBB one, but I'll have to ask permission first.

please flame me if i'm totally off the mark here, because i haven't a clue what i'm talking about. would it be possible to do a similar thing with a proboards board to phpbb to smf? i have a board with .. well lets just say a lot of posts and members, and i dont really want to stay there, would rather host it myself and my members like smf already, so i was hoping to move but i dont want to lose what we've built over the last two years.
Oldiesmann:
Proboards and similar hosted boards are hard to convert from due to the way they store data (ie they don't want you touching it). I think he means he's thinking about hacking up the ezboard to phpBB convertor so it will go from ezboard to SMF since a lot of us are unfamiliar with how to do this.
nave:
a shame, really. i knew i should have switched it to yabbse last year when i had the chance, back when we only had 50,000 posts to lose instead of 100,000.
