Hey there,

I am currently running a phpBB forum with around 16,000 registered users and 600,000 postings.

We have made the decision to move over to the EzPublish forum as most of the functionality of phpBB we need can be re-created (we think).

Has anyone got any examples of some large forums currently operating? Just keen to see how it performs with a larger user base and activity.

Cheers
Matt

HI,

I'd say that this forum is one of the biggest. Run your own test, but I'm quite sure ez is more resource intensive than phpBB.

Let us know.

Using the import script was going to take us 20+ days to import the phpBB database.

Any ideas on how we can speed this process up? It was importing ok, just taking too long.

Cheers

hmm this script uses the regular API...

You need to fund a different way to do it....

Probably you need to try to do it via SQL. Though this is very difficult.
