Migration from IPS to WoltLab

[eveneme]

Due to the dramatic changes in prices and licensing policies of IPS, many people will be looking for an alternative to switch to another platform. I am on this path myself and want to migrate my forum from IPS to WoltLab. However, I would like the migration to be more comprehensive than it currently is. I want more information to be transferred from the old forum to the new one. Therefore, I am suggesting an expansion of the WoltLab exporter for IPS. Please consider and review my request as I plan to migrate next year (and I am probably not the only one, as many people are dissatisfied).

What exactly are you currently missing with the IPS importer?

Our import system is essentially based on importing the standard data that all forum software have in common. Importing special data from individual forum software is usually relatively difficult and time-consuming.

@eveneme If you have some spare time, we would greatly appreciate if you could tell us what you are missing and feel is crucial for a successful migration?
