GRuf-Founder
Dear members,
as mentioned yesterday, Pavel sent me the files of his old Ricohforum.com, which he closed in 2015. I am allowed to import all old content, users etc. into our forum to use it here so you all have access to the old content again. Around 3600 users and 65.000 messages.
I did some tests for this migration already yesterday. The old forum used a different forumsoftware and it took some time to find a way to convert that into a compatible software. But it did work out and it seems that all content and all users were converted into my testinstallation successfully. So far so good. Now it is time for the second step out of three steps
In the second step, I will start with the first tests to import the converted forum into our GRUF. I will start tonight (Europe timezone). Therefore the forum will be closed from time to time tonight.
If that goes well, the third step out of three will be done over the next couple of days. In that third step I will adjust the old forum-structure of Ricohforum.com to our own structure within GRUF. You will probably see then new sections and content popping up and disappearing again. So do not worry about that.
I will keep you updated about the progress here in the announcement section.
Best wishes
