Call to action - Tell me your old forum username!

[dandelion]

We're working on importing all the old threads and posts from the previous site (EAv2) into our current forum (EAv3).

Yes, all 22,671 threads, and 210,340 posts. First post by Bboy way back from November 27, 2001 at 12:48PM UTC.

You can take a look at the imported posts here at http://test.eunuch.co. Log in with your regular forum login. Please tell me if you notices any glaring issues. I know there're still some minor issues with quotes but we should be good as long as they're readable.

If you'd like your old posts to show up under your current username here, just reply to this thread **CLICK HERE** with your old username and your new one. It's super simple!

Example:
Old username: JohnDoe1985
New username: John_Doe

Only reply if you want your old posts moved over to your current account. We'll use these mappings to make sure everything gets attributed correctly.

We'll lock this thread when we are ready to do the big move, hopefully soon!

MANY THANKS to Fhunter for the 'scrape' of the old site he made in late November or early December, after the shutdown was announced. There will probably be a few days of missing posts, those made between when the scrape was made and the actual unplanned shutdown. Without that archive none of this would be possible.

SOME data will be missing, simply because it was not included in the scrape - we won't have the avatar photos from the old site (we may be able to work out a way to put them in for those of you that send them to us, not sure...) and won't have any of the other information from profiles (particularly not your e-mail addresses or passwords) We also don't have the old EAv2 smilies, but are working on mapping them to something that will be similar.

Thanks especially to Dandelion for doing a LOT of work to figure out how to extract the posts and recreate the quoting and other elements of the old threads, and then create the script to do the processing needed. Thanks also to Neutrum260725, Fhunter, Evolve, Waj1993, and anyone else I missed for their help (I also helped a bit)

We are still working out a few details but hope to be able to do this restoration soon....

I just also realized that regular members that don't have the "Super Secret Admin Powers" may not be able to post in this thread...

I will start a thread for posting your EAv2 usernames in Eunuch Central, see viewtopic.php?t=527

And oops didn't realize regular users cannot reply here.

If I don't hear from anyone for maybe a couple of weeks, then I'd say we're good to go with importing to the main site here.

I see one glaring issue - no ssl (so passwords go in clear text)

Ask @fusion: I don't have access to his Nginx

Unless you do?
