Hi there,
I am considering this community software. My problem is, I have an existing PHPBB forum, and want to migrate the forum users, posts, ect to this new system. Is it possible?

Cheers!

Welcome to our camp Johan!
I think our market can help you. Try to post a job about migration data from PHPBB.

Migrating content from PHPBB forum to Oxwall is not a good Idea .Oxwall's forum module is just a simple one and it couldn't compete with PHPBB

Use Oxwall's based site as social network and link your forum to the site .

How about migrating from grou.ps?
I left Ning when they started charging and now grou.ps is pulling the same trick on us.
So I have finally decided to take it under my own control and oxwall seems to offer me exactly what I want.
Now, how the transfer all the contents?

Does grou.ps provide any backup data? If yes, would you send me this data? Our tech guys will look it.

Currently it is impossible. We have already had ning migration plugin, but cos ning changed data format on last month this plugin became unworking :(
