The only thing I've been pursuing is getting a dump of the forums database. I think Gerald must have pushed some buttons - only just this afternoon I have been told a dump is available, just waiting for a secure way to transfer it. Unlike the tarball with the website which was sent by email :-)
Did this tarball also include files the users uploaded (screenshots, cat photos, avatars, ...)? (Just asking - I don't know if these uploads are stored as files or as binary blob in the database.)
I have not yet looked at it - I expect all the user uploads to be in the database. The tarball might hold all of our customisations. I am in no way familiar with vbulletin.
I don't know how we can best facilitate a secure transfer? rsync to one of my own machines or to somewhere at o.o ?
We probably don't have a perfect solution, but good workarounds ;-)
I'd say the easiest way is if the admin in provo uploads it on a https server with a .htaccess / .htpasswd, or with an unguessable URL which basically is the password.
I have prepared a place for Jared to upload the package to - upload.jessen.ch - with scp, and I have sent him userid und password.
