moving posts

[-=WTFxP=-]

hmm was just wondering ....

if i post a post to a forum , then that forum copys my post to another forum on board

tell me if its possible or if i could change that option somewhere

hmm, interesting idea.

what exactly would be the use of this though?

just came out recently, should be just what you're looking for

let me get this right, the software in the above link COPYS other peoples forums, so you can have there posts in your forum? If i ever found a site that copied my forums, i would sue the pants off them! Thats just asking for a lawsuit, i hope whom ever makes this software takes it off the market.

ek. yes that could be used horribly..

however, i can see it has great potential as an ezboard import script... all the links seem dead at the moment but i will see i can contact them.

I wonder how much it costs.

How much would you guys be willing to pay for that? Im curious, cuz I have have a old EZ board (not very popular) running, and I want to know what you guys would think was fair for something like that. Of course, I would need yet another vBulletin license.

I don't know. I would only be using it to import ezboards so they could then be shipped out again using co-branding type thing. $25 probably maybe a bit more but it would have to be changed from its current aim to an import (one off) program that also took account of user conflict, current thread and post numbers etc.

This is interesting, but can and I'm sure will be used wrongfully :(

wouldn't be that much use really to just duplicate someones site. It would be pretty obvious you had done it, the member information wouldn't work, links would be wrong etc... i think anyone would notice very quickly and just go to the proper one. I think its legal potential is a lot more useful than its illegal personally.

duplicating posts from a forum is illegal? i doubt it...

um, unethical at the least but i think you will find it is illegal. Individual's content is copyrighted automatically, you can't just take stuff and put it somewhere else without permission.

it's not possible to sue them for this. but i do agree it's a bad idea to have a program like this.

has anyone been able to get in contact w/ this company? i would like to know how much this costs.
