Forum Upgrade May 29-30

[Phillip]

This should be a intersting thing to see go through. What all has to take place for somthing of this size to happen?

Well, there are a few things involved obviously...

- Configuring and testing the new forum with our server
- Customizing the new forum to work within our framework
- Test importing our vBulletin forum into the new forum
- Making any needed changes to our vBulletin database before import
- Closing our vBulletin forum, backing up the database
- Importing the vBulletin database into the new forum
- Checking the new forum to be sure everything imported correctly
- Setting up redirects so that our vBulletin thread links automatically forward to our new forum threads
- Opening the new forum for members
- Continuing to tweak and make needed changes based on feedback
