merging the forums?

I was wondering if it is possible to merge the forums, or if we are going to have a third Omnnimaga fourm, when the old Omnimaga is back.

If I am still manager of Omnimaga when the old board is back, things are gonna occur this way:

When the old board is back up I will enable guest posting and copy all topic and posts from the temp board to the old one verbatim. I may add the original dates though since all dates will be wrong. However to prevent a massive spambot invasion the board domain name will not be updated immediately so the old board will be avaliable at z 9 . i n v i s i o n f r e e . c o m / o m n i m a g a for a small period of time. The temp board will be locked. I may need some help though if there are a lot of posts to be converted. After this process is done (if even done at all) the old board will go back to omnimaga.org and the temp board will be reenabled only for testing purpose (such as getting familiar with Zetaboards posting and moderation features)


Technically we will have 2 boards, unless somehow Invisionfree ever decides to add a new merging service

I will miss the time we have spent here, but I will love it once we are "Reunited and it feels so good, reunited and it's understood" (song lyrics :) ).

there were about 40 of those everywhere. I think no topic were left out by the spammer(s), then they started spamming my inbox as well as some members' then when we disabled registrations after they bypassed all our bans using proxies they started spamming the IRC channel
