Hello, Forumotion members!

I hope you can help me out a little bit with this problem

I have a forum, www.facebook-forum.co.cc (It's forumotion, its real address is facebookforum.forumotion.com). and a friend of mine has a simillar forum, www.facebookforum.co.uk (Powered by PunBB). I was wondering if maybe we can merge both forums, I mean, "transfer" all the members and topics from his forum, to mine.

Is that possbile?

I'd really appreciate your answers.

Thanks!

It is possible to merge two forums of the same type,
if you can have back end access to the databases and copy posts topics etc.
you can do this but it is a very long and complex task to complex for many that i have seen Try to do it
if forumotion would do this im not sure if they would take on such a big task?

Ok, thanks for your help guys, but I'm not a very good technician. I've called an admin for help.

We cannot do this, we dont have access to the Database.

That's why I asked an admin to come here.

Yes, as it is already said it can't be done. I dont see a reason for this topic to be open.
