MyBB Community Forums

I will post original content on your forum. I have a back up from an old forum of mine that is pretty much useless to me now. It has about 90,000 posts. A lot of the posts are extremely good content. Some are over 1000 words. This content has not been online for over two years. It is not searchable.

The backup is incomplete. It did not download the threads table, or I would just sell the whole backup. I will have to go into phpmyadmin and copy these posts out so this will not be cheap for you. However I guarantee you will be satisfied with the content if your forum is of this genre.

Im not sure what to charge for this.

I will need to create multiple accounts on your forum. About 25. You will need to integrate the plugin "Account Switcher".

PM me if you are interested. Some of the posts/threads are stories. Some of novel length. Some are article quality.

Here is a sample:

Do you ride? If so could you tell non riders what they would need to have to take off on? I am thinking about this: You have managed to walk out of town or your vehicle broke down. You see a farm/ranch/homestead that is abandoned but has a few horses. The light bulb goes off with your great idea. Even those who have never rode before are going to attempt it. What do they need to get or do to ride those horses? 

Not a riding lesson, just a list of supplies they need to grab along with that saddle.

No offense, but ANY person with no horse experience jumping on and riding a strange horse only works out in the movies and video games - in real life you are putting your life at risk. Avoiding injury is top priority in any survival, SHTF scenario.

We've got four horses...well two horses and two ponies. Should someone decide to take one of our lot for transport in a post SHTF scenario, I'm sure they would pick the very cute, very friendly middle size one. The same one that would have them eating dirt with broken bones in five seconds flat. 

But if you did want to live dangerously, other than a saddle, you would also need a bridle - leather straps that goes on the horses head and has a metal bit that goes inthe horses mouth and reins that you hold to steer and stop the horse. Under the saddle you want a saddle blanket, padding to stop the horses back from getting sore (horse gets a sore back, its likely to buck you off). I'd also look for a hoofpick - a metal hook shaped implement 4-6" long that would be with all the saddles and tack. If the horse picks up a stone in its hoof, it will go lame if its not removed straight away - same if the horse is shod (has metal horse shoes on) and it casts one or one comes partially loose.

I'd also look for a headcollar or halter (simple version of a bridle without the mouthpiece and reins), and a long length of rope so that you can tie the horse up at night or when you are not riding it.

If your game enough to get on - make sure you have done up the girth or cinch (the strap that goes around the belly and attaches to the saddle) tight enough so that you don't end up under the horses legs when you try to get on....or when it bolts off down the road once you are on board

As for a cart, car tires are a better option for rugged terrain than proper cart wheels...nowadays the wood on wagon wheels is way to old to be safe, and in most cases so is the metal. I have heard of small cars being turned into carts after the engine, gearbox and other mechanics had been removed. I guess the shafts could be bolted or welded on, but not sure what you would do about a brake. A travois would be a better option (like the native american indians used - two poles with a skin stretch between). With ropes (and padding) you could attach travois poles to a saddle, especially a western saddle with a horn. I suspect even a cart trained horse would object to a travois dragging behind it, at least at first...so you would want to test the horses reaction to everything in a small enclosure before you ventured out into the big wide world (LOL even then, no guarantee you'll survie the experience

In spite of the fact that it will take you no longer than 90 seconds; assuming of course, you know what you're doing. 

Here's a query to make it easier: 

SELECT * FROM mybb_posts where content LIKE "search terms";

That is, unless, you want to drag this out for as long as possible, in which case, I question why you'd be providing a service if, in fact, you don't want to be providing it.

What is the point of your post? 90 seconds huh? Thanks for the query...I guess.
