Hi, I had a popular forum years ago on here, it actually got randomly closed down for TOS violation which killed us (I still don't forgive whoever did it!), but we had a backup forum which has a bunch of posts and topics on still, and every now and again people check back to see how everybody is doing which is nice. I'd love to be able to save all the posts and topics there for posterity, especially as we're all older now and it's great to look back 5/10 years etc. Is this possible at all? And if my old deaded forum still is backed up somewhere I'll pay you guys 1000's for it, just let me know. Serious as a heart attack. Cheers. Edited by Word, Jan 11 2016, 12:44 PM.

ZB doesn't have a backup system. You'll need to do it manually. |

There is no right direction. You have to get real familiar with copypasta! |

Copypasta into what? Is there no program or script I can use to do it? |

You'd have to recreate accounts and repost everything. If you saved a lot of posts and members, that would take awhile. Even then, the feeling of nostalgia won't be the same. If you wanted to reunite your community you would be better off starting over with posts and perhaps a "best of" section from the old Word forums. |
