Migrating 3.7M Users to a scalable discussion board

Merging different forum databases – users and posts is never a straightforward task. Exoboosters.tech compared various alternatives and presented a set of options to the client. From this set, VanillaForums was chosen.

Our team carried out the following tasks:

  • Setting up new Vanilla instance
  • Merging Users and Posts to Vanilla forum format
  • Organizing Categories & Sections on the new forum
  • Setting up Permissions and Roles
  • Installed additional plugins to boost user engagement

Exoboosters.tech was approached to help identify a way forward that would allow their members to continue to enjoy the latest news and deals within the web hosting world.
