Title: I am awesome
Post by: bustin98 on September 07, 2009, 03:50:18 AM
This is my post to do some boasting.
A few of you may remember JonLeung. He doesn't post here much. He has his own site that he hangs out at most of the time. His site though used forum software called GF++. Piece of hack crap software. Seems that there are some large bugs and people know how to hack the scripts pretty easily. Some jerk found the site and decided to make Jon's life miserable.
I was able to take the database from GF and transfer it over to SMF. YES! It was a long job, thanks to the mismatch of data collection, but no major piece of information was lost in the move. I did spend way too much time on it, like 15 hours, but it was a good learning experience.
I now know more about SMF's data structure than most of you. :p

You are king among men Bustsin, because forum database migration is ugly work. Trust me, I have faced it before.

... I usually charge $125 per hour for database stuff :D And I think I over-estimated the time. It was closer to 9.

Having converted Gamespy forums (without a raw SQL dump) -> SMF and Fusetalk -> SMF -> SMF Postgresql, I know what you went through.

I don't know what any of that means so I don't know why I should care.

It means Bustin98's practicing so he can hack into NWR and enact my plan of banning mods from the Funhouse.
Get on it!

I think there is already a herd of nerds locked away in a basement trying to find an exploit in SMF. I have better things to do with my time. Like making my own forum software to take over the world with... mwa ha ha ha ha ha!
