My first board was built at websitetoolbox.com, a few years before I found MyBB.
I plan to purchase the SQL database from that first old board and merge it into my current MyBB board.
I do not see an option with the MyBB Merge software to merge an unlisted type of message board into MyBB. Because of this, I suspect that I will have to make a fresh MyBB board, and try to load/restore the Website Toolbox database into that, and then, if that works, merge the new MyBB board into my current MyBB board.
Is this idea all wrong? Is there a better way to do this? Will merging the Website Toolbox SQL database into MyBB even work?
I have merged a phpBB board into MyBB, that worked great. I have also recovered/restored MyBB databases before, but I have never tried to do what I described above.
Any helpful hints on how to go about this would be appreciated.
