Are not they private?... a thousand or so members and a reasonable quantity of private messages.

Only insofar as they are not shared with the public at large. Administrators can view 'private' messages using a tool like phpMyAdmin on every forum system of which I am aware.Are not they private?
It's true...they can even view messages in a backup...Administrators can view 'private' messages using a tool like phpMyAdmin on every forum system of which I am aware.
I have to wonder how else he'd be able to properly test it with a vast amount of real data that he doesn't otherwise have?It's true...
...but it is not nice from an admin to give all those private conversations to a third party.
If you're not comfortable handing over that information, then don't.
A few from IPB,yes.Anyway, I'm excited to see this over as that means more XenForo customers are on the way over.
Presumably that includes handing databases over to 3rd parties who do imports?...but it is not nice from an admin to give all those private conversations to a third party.
If you do an import for someone you don't need to go through the database visually and read the content.Presumably that includes handing databases over to 3rd parties who do imports?
True but that defeats the purpose of part of the test to ensure that PMs in IPB transfer over properly.An admin can always empty the PM table before handing over the data for testing.
Which would make the test useless.An admin can always empty the PM table before handing over the data for testing.
Clearly some people believe so. Then again, some people go round with tin foil hats on.I'm sure Kier would prefer to read your users' PMs than finalise an IPB importer and make some money for XenForo Ltd.
