The new SMF replacement board is coming along fine (so far -- knocking on wood). It will have almost all the old messages from the defunct vBulletin board -- only missing some from the last 24-48 hours before it died. User accounts will still be there (although you will have to try to log in a couple of times to get it to convert your password -- JUST READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LOGIN PAGE.)
Avatars are MIA. You will have to reselect, reupload, whatever your avatar. All attachments from messages disappeared in the big bit bucket in the sky. Oh well. All social groups are gone. There is a different social groups feature on the new board, but there was no way to important data from the old social groups. All visitor messages (in profiles) are gone as SMF does not have this feature. A mod providing something like it has been added, but again, there's no way to transfer old messages.
There are some new features. More about them in a future post. Still no ETA, but assuming no unexpected serious problems earlier rather than later in the next week.
Lyric: "Randall, honey? Can you go pick up some groceries? We're out of a couple things."
Randall is hunched over a laptop, typing feverishly. He is dripping with sweat and has not slept in 72 hours. His hands are shaking. His eye twitches. When he speaks, his voice trembles with the weight of madness."Not right now Lyric. My people need me."
<3 you Randall.
