When did you first encounter MyBB?
 
On a small forum for homeschoolers. When I first began making my own forums, I chose MyBB over phpBB solely for the reason that you could click the forum icon to make that forum be read.
 
Is there any possibility of a better merge system from MyBB? Some hosts are getting bugged with DB Merges.
 
Well, what do you mean by getting bugged? Merge/convert systems will always be resource hogs; they are changing the way the entire data base is laid out, after all. The same can be said for any conversion system.
 
What homeschool forum did you start ?

Well I used the convertor on a MyBB Forum to merge my phpBB DB and it worked fine. My host was Hostgator but again, when I tried the same thing with 000webhost, it failed, no matter how many times I tried. The process was never full.

GTFO of my thread boy.

It's a free host. No duh it's not going to work Their resource limits are so low you can't do shit.
 
Hah this is kinda weird. I am homeschooled and was introduced to MyBB when I was 11.

Where are you from?

Most free hosts only allow a certain amount of database importing. Most free hosts only allow a couple mb's however almost all paid hosts allow up to 50 mb. See if I wanted to merge FK's db to another forum I couldn't do it without breaking up the database as Fk's db is way way over 50 mb's it is actually almost at 2 gigs. The conversion didn't work because of the free host, not because of anything to do with the conversion system or mybb.

I use it for testing. I think I'll try GoDaddy.

Oh God no. Use a sensible host like Valcati that doesn't screws you over.
 
Thanks for the advice Philly. My DB is like 56.7MB with 16k posts.
 
How easy is to merge MyBB with a different platform to create a website which ties into the forum?

EG: If you earn points on the site, they count towards a forum points system?

So that it's all linked together.
 
How did you guys feel when UGNazi pwned you? Love from Juvi.

Angry and confused. We were pretty miffed that they were able to SE our domain registrar; there should have been more security in place. WE have since transferred to a registrar that has better security measures.

We were pretty puzzled as to why they hacked us. To quote the MyBB blog:

 

Thanks, I'll have a full read at it later!
