Hi,

I have a custom built forum. It is written in the most recent versions of Perl and MySQL. I have been using and enhancing it over the last 12 years, it has about 200,000 posts and 40,000 userids and I run it on a dedicated linux server running the lastest release of Apache.

I am considering migrating it to myBB. Is this doable? Does the myBB Merge apply here? Are there any guides docs on doing this?

Or should I just continue to do my own thing, write all the stuff that is missing in my forum which is considerable.....and which may be killing my sites traffic.

Recently another user posted essentially the same question.

If you're interested I can take a look and make a bid on how much I would charge to make this module. Otherwise, if you're planning on making it yourself just take a gander at the existing merge system code.
