lostdiscussion merging

[Red Matrix]

I am seriously considering upgrading to vBulletin (paid) software, and merging with another LOST board that has 3,000 posts.

I just don't know if invisionFREE will allow me to export all the posts and users database. I'd hate for everyone to have to re-register. :(

What do you think? It would be just the thing to bring back old members... no?

What other Lost board? Do you have one in mind?

[Red Matrix]

Yes I do. I just can't think of the name right now, lol. I know the owner.

It's sounds like a plan to me. It would help both forums it seems. Maybe you should post a vote or PM the members. I'm just one person--hardly a demograph to choose from. :)

NO vote needed. It's GOING to happen. :)

I'm getting a black VB skin ready, so as not to SHOCK everybody!

Alrighty then!! You do it!! :D

Our board, lostdicussion will soon be merging with another Lost related board. The board is currently hosted at invisionfree, but will soon be exported and then merged with ours.

It can be found here.

Just an update for you all. We're currently not sure when exactly the merge will take place, but it could be relatively soon, within the next few days even.

To simply the merge, we would like to ask that the few of you who have accounts on both boards make sure you're using the same email address on both boards.

Once our boards merge, this place is going to get a whole lot more active with the addition of the show starting in just over a month. Together, our new lost discussion board will have over 60,000 posts and 2,000 members.

hmm, sounds more like this board is getting swallowed up by the other one... i enjoyed the fact that this board was smaller, oh well.

so how will it work? you are going to recreate our accounts in their site, and then delete this one? i'd rather just have my account deleted and then think about making one on the other site later. don't like my email bouncing around, and probably won't have time to keep up with a busier forum anyways.

not to sound negative though, sorry if i came across as such it's good for you, and i'm sure others will be excited

Not like that, really. This site right here will remain intact - the database from the other site will come here. Your account and this domain will still be accessible. The only possible issue is if you have an account on both sites (unlikely).
