Hi.
I'm trying to migrate the forum. But I'm not have the database.
Because ''forumais'' not provide the database.
Is it possible to migrate?

Sorry my bad inglish.
Thank you.
You should try crawler converter, read the linked topic:

You need to look for phpBB3 crawler (phpBB3 only) and try it to generate phpbb database. After you'll get database, you can use mybb merge to convert this database to mybb forum.

I would suggest you start from the basics, crawlers can't get the passwords etc from accounts. So this would be pretty pointless

There is no other way to convert from forums like this. They do not provide access to the database. Period. This system works fine if you know what to do to make sure people know how to go to the new forum and can contact you.

Thanks for the replies.
I just read the topics, but as my English is poor, I could not understand everything.

If you don't have the database info,
no you can't.

If you look for phpBB crawlers in the internet, you can find scripts that will scrape all your forum's info (minus things like passwords) and put it into a database. After you get that phpBB database, you can merge it to MyBB. I've never done it however and don't know the success rate.
I never did that before so I didn't know
you can do that.
but its mite be hard.
do you still have the account there? can you create a backup from your control panel or a basic backup from the ACP?
Also it should be mentioned that with the majority of "Free Forum" sites that do not allow database access it is against their TOS to use such crawlers, and thus we cannot support conversion from those boards.
