    Hello,

    sorry but we don't provide any database nor any way to transfer your forum elsewhere.

    Typlo, we have already bought our domain and hosting and VB, so no matter what we are moving there.There's no benefit for forumotion for not helping us, since it will make no difference in our decision, we have already paid for everything.But we would appreciate your kindness if you could just make our 85 members happy by helping us import their 4000 posts there.I understand it's your policy, but I also know its no big deal techinically to be done, and not doing, will not benefit forumotion...In fact it would only make forumotion look bad in ours and our 85 members eyes..We have been very pleased so far, we're just moving to a place we can set our own TOS Smile

    Please reconsider...

    Thanks in advance

    It's not my decision I'm afraid, and there is nothing I can do about it anyway.

    When you created your forum, you accepted this TOS :

    Data and security
    Everything is done to avoid any slowdown or unexpected downtime of the services, but it is not possible to guarantee these slowdowns, or to foresee any downtime. None network or server problem or any other breakdown can be covered under any warranty. None repayment can be considered for any break or stop of the services, damage or data loss. Several systems have been set up to ensure a security of the content. Thus, a backup of the whole data is done everyday. But for any reason, none individual backup or sql dump, database will be provided. Please do take good note that for any evoked reasons, no precise safeguard of a forum, dump, backup of the data will be provided. However, the administrator of the forum has at his disposal, a tool which allows him to use these backups in order to restore his board, such as it was at a previous date.
