Only expected site to be down a few hours, but it turned to half a day.

Ended up NOT transferring it, as the SQL DB only is over 250MB, making it nearly impossible for me to do an import.

Working to put a better game plan together for transfer tonight or next weekend.

Thanks.

Bit of an SQL noob, but cant you just save the whole forum as .tar.bz or something similar and just use a new SQL?

No, that would require a flux capacitor the likes of which we have never seen, Tronoob!

3/4 the db are attachment uploads

What's the other 1/4?

Are you trying to save peoples post counts, or what? :s
