You must have seen those crawlers people make to move away from ZetaBoards. I haven't heard anything about them feedback wise, but you take a risk. From what I've heard, it boggles down the server and could end up with your IP being blocked, which isn't good at all.

You can only purchase your forum database if you're on InvisionFree. If you're on ZetaBoards, there is no way to purchase your database.


Like I said before, I won't condone you doing so in trying the crawlers, but know that it might not work, and if the server blocks your IP, it's an unnecessary headache.

If your IP is blocked you won't be able to access any board on the servers you were banned from. I was once banned by accident on Server 2, and as a result was unable to access this support board for the better part of 2 weeks. The difference is if you were banned intentionally, there's no way Brandon would consider reversing the IP ban.

Crawlers do not convert your data. They 'scrape' it. It's essentially a gigantic copy/paste. True conversions such as converting personal messages, private/hidden forums, user accounts and passwords are not possible. Essentially the strain these crawlers put on the servers is viewed as an attack. The server will block your IP as Moonface has said.

While real conversions is something we plan, we do not have an estimate of when we can provide this option. Zetaboards itself was never built to be a one board structure. It was designed to contain multiple boards on a single server. To truly provide a decent conversion will take time and as of now, our priority remains features and bug fixes first.

While we're on the subject, can we (if we have the knowledge) write an SQL file from scratch based on our forums if we can't use a crawler. This is aimed at ZB, as I know we can pay to migrate from IF.

That would fall under Section 4 of the Terms of Use:
