Is there a way to populate a new forum with members, threads and posts from an existing forum, on a selective basis? I would like to copy only a few forums on one of my sites to a new forum I want to set up. I want it to contain a copy of the existing threads and posts from only those selected forums and only a small number of members.
Would it be easier to just copy the database to the new forum and then delete everything I don't want, including members? Is that a viable way to copy a forum and then prune it or make other necessary changes, like forum titles and descriptions?
Any advice would be appreciated. My plan is to purchase a new vB package and use the 3.8.x version because that's what I use on the current forum and that's the version I happen to like.
Thanks,
Jim
