614-159=455, I think the N/A members aren't counted in the "count" database.

What are N/A members - North American?

Shabbaman · 23-09-2008, 10:24

Not Available, I guess. I deleted most spambots, but in Snitz you can't delete members with posts. For most spambots their associated spam was already deleted, but not for all. Their status is deleted though. Apparently vB uses a different method of keeping track of these deleted members, by reverting them to Guest status.

You can see them here.

forum looks good otherwise, cept for it saying i have more posts there than what i have here but i assume thats connected with the double posts bug thing mentioned earlier.

Is there a timeframe when were looking to stop using this site?

Shabbaman · 23-09-2008, 16:16

Where do you see that you have more posts here than there? Postcount seems similar.

BCLG100 · 23-09-2008, 17:32

Sorry i mean to say within my subforum.

double posts and soft deletion
The fact that the double posts have different post numbers now we thank to the fact they all get a unique import ID. However they also have their old 'regular' ID and duplicate posts = twice the same 'unique' post number in the databasr. This is very much unwanted because that means you cant remove the import id's

The soft deletion is dependant on persmission settings, so we can hand hard deletion powers to mods as well.

member count
I think shabba is right and the banned members arent ported in. That's plain good luck imo. I'll try and squeeze memberlists from both fora and if you could compare them with a script that would be plain brilliant. If we can't get that done, we'll just move over assuming we deleted the banned members, should some non banned member be unlucky enough to have lost their account they can just pm.

you can email the lists, if you can get them, otherwise i might be able to copy and paste them from the list of memebers into a text file and compare them. Copy and paste would not take more than 30 mins at a guess. as long as it pastes in a friendly format. So if you have spent more than 30 mins trying to figure out ouw to extract the members list dont bother with it.

how can we edit the forum description?

Looks stupid to have a non working img linked there...

ProPain · 23-09-2008, 21:35

Pretty easy, scroll down to the bottom of the page in the right corner should be a link called 'mod'. Press that, enter username/pass and you;re in the mod control panel.

No need to clean that up now however cause it will be done by a script for all the broken img links. Will run that script tomorrow.
