Yeah, it's rather old forum script. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/products/gossamer-forum/
Written in PERL/CGI but not updated in last few years so I'm looking for new, modern software and if possible to migrate data from it.
@whu606 I know this thread is a little old, but is there any documentation about the expected import format? I need to migrate a community that does not have a script. I am very technical, so I would rather write it myself instead of waiting for someone else to write it.
