Well I thought I had better explain were my thoughts sit with keeping MM forum or content. As Jason as mentioned it is about 1k to keep it alive however I believe it is more than that after looking into it. To do that someone will have to take responsibility for that bill every month and that cannot be me because I am already paying out for forumite. Some have mentioned they will pay each month towards costs but if over time people leave for whatever reason than the onus is on who ever that bill each month’s name it is in and so I rather that not be me.
What I can do is transfer the data over to forumite. I have looked into this in detail and this is not going to be without its costs. I will need access to the MM database and FTP access details.
Because there is no tools out there to directly import from MM to my forumite software I will have to first import it into forum software that has tools available then import it into forumite forum. It is not going to be an overnight job and I would have to do it over time, maybe a month as I will have to get back to doing some proper work and just spend a few hours a day on forumite.
If I was to transfer the data from mm to forumite I could do with MM stopping open for another month or at a minimum all the files and database sending to me.
There is no point me struggling and guessing though and rather than hearsay and third parties it would be useful if I am contacted directly by whoever pulls the strings.
For now I’ll keep working on forumite and I thank all those who have donated to the cause so far and have made an effort in contributing to the forum content.
