Not that I object to us using ZB, but why is the board ZB?

Because Jubal wanted to be on Zeta-Boards?

But WHY?

This board started as a temporary home while Marcus' old site Mixed Mods was down. We started on IF, which was crap, since I just wanted a quick interim system. However, Marcus' old tech guy, Vampire, disappeared altogether, so we kept going on Exilian. We then moved to ZB when the upgrade became available; by that stage it would just have been too much of a pain to shift all the stuff.

There is an SMF forum ready for the posting, but no way I know of to transfer all the posts.

Why not make a new site for Exilian all together? It'll attract lots more people.

Cuddly Khan · « **Reply #7 on:** April 06, 2011, 07:42:49 AM »

It'll make it stand out a ton more.

Jubal · « **Reply #8 on:** April 06, 2011, 04:42:45 PM »

What sort of thing do you mean? And how would it attract more people?

Cuddly Khan · « **Reply #10 on:** April 06, 2011, 11:00:54 PM »

I mean http://www.Exilian.com/

Marcus · « **Reply #11 on:** April 10, 2011, 11:56:18 AM »

we have http://exilian.co.uk/

And there is an SMF forum there somewhere, but the transfer hasn't happened, since I don't know of any way to transfer the posts, and there are rather a lot of them.

Aha, looks like conversion is a possibility. And I also discovered that Godaddy MySQL databases are 1GB in size, so we should be good for quite a while.

Well done.

I've found a zetaboards conversion tool, but it requires a fair bit of bandwidth on my part, so I'm waiting till I get back to my 20Mb connection in Exeter before I attempt it. Trying it out on rural broadband sounds like a pretty bad idea.
