Please don’t talk about that here, it’s exactly the kind of discussion that we mustn’t have here, I assume that even Riven would agree with me but obviously he should feel free to contradict me if necessary.
I was doing some experimenting today on a few things. Doing a brand new import to reset everything. Import is running again now so users and post will appear over the next number of hours
Seems like you guys got the ball rolling, if you need anything, please let me know. I’ll be here occasionally.
So… what’s the status.

@riven - here is a list of things that would be useful
- you had a list of criteria for any migration to happen, has this been met in your eyes?
- what involvement do you want in the site post any migration?
- what are the Google Oauth credentials linked to (ie which Gmail id)? Are you willing to hand these over?
- if you don’t want to be involved are you happy to hand over the hostname? For me to create Google Oauth I need to have access to the domain DNS record and add in proof that I am affiliated to it (it would also be easier if the hostname had to change)
- your test data set didn’t have any like data in it, is it possible to get this? Subsequently is it easy to export your appreciates in to likes?
- can you provide all the image files you have?
- if you want to answer these privately please drop me a message, maybe we can email offline
Separately this is the remaining item on the migrate list
- enhance the rewrite rule to include URLs with the post id in, those can’t be re written to point to a specific post in a topic but it can be converted to the new topic
- need to sign up for an anti spam service, no capatchas for discourse.
@everyone else
- Any takers for being an admin?
- who wants to help out?
- are you happy for the migration to take place
- when should any migration happen?
- should we re organise the categories post migration?
As mentioned before on the Discord, it would seem to me to be the best option if you yourself and Cas would share that position for now.
One who has shown to be up to the task from a technical point of view, and one whose face the people know* and who is actually involved in the relevant industry.
*metaphorically, obviously.
wow, I miss all this discussion, let’s move to new platform 
I’m perpetually busy so I’m only volunteering lip service to server maintenance chores and things that generally require money. I would prefer to leave the administration of the software stack to someone else more competent.

Hey I miss something: do I need to register to new forum or also accounts are migrated ?
- help out with what?
- I’m totally happy
- asap
- yes, based on the activity and numbers, I’d consider closing down or merge those which are sporadic accessed
I’m a daily lurker and try to post sometimes and contribute. I’m really busy actually because we founded a startup but if you take something in consideration like a moderator or something for the new site I’d happily try to apply to keep the forum clean if neccessary. I guess we will see. How ever I’ll try to provide as much feedback as possible regarding all sort of things. Really appreciating the effort of all you guys! I wish I could contribute more to this initiative.
All accounts are migrated, you just need a password reset. Until I can get the Google Oauth keys there is only a password option
Helping out with making decisions, it’s all me at the moment
Thanks, things are a bit slow at the moment as Riven is not on that much. Thanks for the offer of being a moderator and helping out with any feedback, I’ll make sure to reach out
ICYMI on Discord - I’ve doubled server capacity.

FYI without HTTPS the login credentials are sent as an unsecure POST request unhashed
Should be HTTPS only now
Can people check?
HTTPS only for me.
Which keys do you need? I just ask google ‘who is this user’, google returns an email-address, and I trust it to be that user. I don’t need to store any further oauth-keys per user. You’d only need to do some setup on the domain but you can perform those on jvm-gaming.org without my involvement.
