Thank you TEAM Discourse! 20 years ago, we started a forum for unix and linux users on vB2 and around 15 years ago, we ‘upgraded’ to vB3. Today marks a big change for unix and linux users world-wide and for us as the migration to Discourse is now live.
Thank you very much for creating this software and making it available to everyone as an open source project. Your generosity is much appreciated. In my view (and I am sure countless others), Discourse is by far the best forum software on the planet in 2020.
As far as others who are legacy vB3 users who want to migrate to Discourse, this migration is not as “easy” as I have made it look. Unless you are well versed in programming and comfortable with direct integration with your databases on the command-line, I recommend you consider the services of some of the talented and active professionals here at meta.discourse.org.
Thank you again, Team Discourse!
Note: I’ll be adding some misc lessons learned in this post on the new site:
