Easier Than You Might Think

The thought of migrating your forum to a new platform can definitely be nerve-racking. What if the site breaks? What about all that past history? What if the members revolt? If your current platform has reached the end of its useful life, there is no reason to put off migration.

Vanilla has migrated forums big and small and in every case the results have been overwhelmingly positive.

Here are just a few of the platforms we have helped users migrate away from:

• phpBB
• vBulletin
• bbPress
• SimplePress
• Lithium
• Jive
• And many more...

If you are running a large or heavily customized forum, our professional services team can ensure that the migration is smooth and that key functionality is preserved.

Keeping Members Happy

It's natural for humans to be resistant to change. Over the course of many migrations, we have developed a collection of best practices around managing communications with the membership. Ultimately, your members will thank you for having improved the performance and usability of the forum and will love the cool new features.
