We do have a copy of the database, thankfully. We originally looked into Groups.io, but then discovered that some alternative medicine practices are against their policy and may be subject to censorship. Since our forums is precisely in this field, we could not risk censorship from them. -Davide

Darn, This may be a deal-breaker for us. We have a number of members on our Yahoo Groups who only communicate via email. For this migration, we would prefer to keep this functionality so as to accommodate their needs. I understand that phpBB has a plugin that can accomplish this. -Davide

Do you guys know of anyone who can do the migration for us for a fee? We have someone who can possibly do it, but if he can't, we would need a fallback plan. We don't mind paying for whatever it will cost. @ozzy47 mentioned @MySiteGuy as a possible. Thanks, Davide

Wow thank you for all your replies, and the quick response time. Seems like a nice community here. Will take this into serious consideration.

Another request that some of our Yahoo Groups members had, is the ability to post/reply entirely through email. Is this a feature that XenForo has, whether natively or via plugin? Thanks again for your quick responses, Davide

I can get full administrative privileges if the owner decides to go forward on this. I assume this includes some sort of export function, maybe CSV. I don't know, since I have never migrated from Yahoo Groups before. I doubt there is direct access to the server-side database, as you would find...

I was wondering if anyone has an experience migrating from Yahoo Groups to Xenforo. Yahoo is closing down their Groups within a few weeks, and we are now scrambling to find an alternate solution. We have 5,000+ members and likely over 100,000+ posts. Thanks, Davide
