Hello,

According to this, they don't provide database access(Unless you pay), but someone wrote a script.

Thanks. But, unfortunately, all such information has been expunged at ProBoards request. So, I guess we will have to start from scratch. At least I know that SimpleMachines won't be as horrendous as ProBoards was - and the ironic thing is that ProBoards actually charges for their forum software; and people actually pay it!


Anyway, I guess we'll start again from square one - at least we didn't have a million posts that we're losing.
