Client launch: 1,200 members migrated in a weekend

CA Carlos Mendes 2 weeks ago

We moved a client from a creaking phpBB install to Jetonomy over a weekend. 1,200 members, 8,000 posts, all dates preserved. The batched importer did the heavy lifting.

Appreciate the clear steps. The dry-run tip in particular saved me from a mistake I would not have caught otherwise.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.
