Hi there
A friend owns a forum running on BurnungBoard version 1.1.1.
This software is now 18 years old!
Still running smoothly but absolutely out-dated with all risks and downsides one can think of.
This being said, he wants to migrate his data to a new software. Since a forum I use quite frequently is running XenForo, I recommended XenForo zu him.
I have not been able to look at the database model but I expect it to be simple: foreign key dependencies between database tables such as forums, threads, posts and users; plain vanilla (I guess).
Now, how easy is it to load an existing simple forum (i.e., its database content) into a clean XenForo installation (there should not be more than 4-5 database tables... as I said: forums, threads, posts, users... and maybe a couple more...)?
Besides possible data format conversions (e.g., timestamp from date/time to UNIX-timestamp) is it simply filling the tables via SQL?
Any metadata-tables that would have to be filled as well?
Thanks for your help!
