Importing members ONLY from 1.x to 2.0.2?

(1/2) > >>

Kat9119:
I'm upgrading to 2.0.2. I don't want all the old topics and old mods/installs and all that junk. I want a clean install.

BUT, my users are upset they'd have to re-register again. I have 1000+ members. They don't want the hassle, and they want their avatars/signatures/stats in tact. I can't blame them.

Is there anyway to do this? and if so, how?

Looking:
Upgrading should not delete members or their info. You can prune topics you don't want.

K@:
You could always delete all the boards, if you like. That'll dump all the posts, too.

Kat9119:
Well, what I mean though is installing a new 2.0.2 install. And then import the members?

Not take my 1.1.16 and upgrade to 2.0.2. I have a lot of mods installed and addons like the arcade and stuff like that, and I have no idea how to begin getting rid of everything that way. It seems "fresher" to start from scratch with 2.0.2 and import the users/stats if I can.

Kat9119:
I think its possible based on other things I've read, but would be too difficult for me to figure out. So I've decided to go ahead and just do a complete fresh install. I'm going to tell users they can re-register with their old username/email and I'll check the backups for post counts and reinstate them if they'd like for a short period of time.
