Merging members, threads, posts, and etc. to my new forum!


I currently have a forum with decent amount of threads, posts, members and want to start a new forum, both are going to be using vBulletin same version, and I was wondering whether it would be possible to take all the members, posts, threads, and etc. from the existing forum I have and some how putting it in my new forum.

I just want to know if this was possible, and how I would go about doing this, if it was possible.

Thanks!

Why not just make a backup of your current stuff, and then on your new hosting service, import the backup, then change the board URL?

Incase you've already installed vBulletin (ie have 2 databases of information) you can use the impex system as long as they are version 3.6.8 or below.

If you're using 3.7 there is no way to merge the data currently. The best method would be to do as Michael suggested and backup your current database, and just move it to the new domain and all that snazz.
