transferring all the old topics/posts onto the 2.0 forum?

I Think that this is possible.
The ST will need to download this code and (probably) run the php (I don't know now)
also, Does this belong here? I thought it was advanced because it includes a outside of scratch program. Tell me if I'm wrong.

This will not happen.
I read that all topics and posts will not transfer and be archived here.

Maybe it should go in suggestions, but whatever.

I am afraid that the ST will not transfer posts form here to the 2.0 website.

But this forum is FluxBB and the 2.0 forum will be DjandoBB so it should work...

It's not going to happen because I belive the ST said they don't want to transfer the topics. I think they said this because the ammount of topics could be causing a delay on the servers; so a clean, fresh new forum should stop the small delay - if there IS one.


I'm back.
Maybe.

I think right now the opinion of the Scratch Team is "we're not going to transfer the posts".

However, we're having a discussion in the 2.0 alpha forums right now about what's best for the community. Technical issues aside, do you guys have any input about this?

I think they shouldn't transfer, because it could cause delays because there's like 900 pages with about 20 topics on.

Re: transferring all the old topics/posts onto the 2.0 forum?

I don't think they should even be kept.
Why should they have perfectly good servers be used just as an archive? It saves time and money to just re-use these servers in some other way.
But I do see how telling that to people will get them mad...

I have a lot of SQL knowledge, and a database doesn't start to slow down until you have several million posts. We have about 1.3 million, so we won't even notice until that at least doubles

Okay everyone. I dont think your reading the ST's full post. They did say that there won't be any posts in 2.0, but the posts WILL BE ARCHIVED!

We're probably not going to transfer, but they are looking for a good way to archive it (preferably in plain HTML, not doing all those DB queries).

You'd probably have to do a recursive wget, and then write a script to go through and update all the links.

Re: transferring all the old topics/posts onto the 2.0 forum?

This is more of a suggestion but I think a button on the archived pages that "revived" a thread would be helpful. Then only active topics would be put back.
[/suggestion]


bye 1.4, we all loved you. but we all outgrew the site. 2.0 is a welcome change.

It's not REALLY a suggestion, but you can think of it as that. For all the non Scratch 2.0 testers know, they won't be transferring posts.
