I think it could take alot less than a year...if you gave up your life :P

I'd only be able to code it during the night, maybe an hour tops because i'll be coding during the day anyway.

Problem is, my server doesn't have php5, so I can't do it. Fucks.

Okay folks. Question time.

Should Wuggawoo start from scratch, ie new tables...this means chances are the previous wuggawoo which were on now would become an archive and you'd have new accounts?

I wouldn't really have a problem with it, really. My "new" account would probably be exactly the same.

The real problem is that I've decided to change alot of the database structures as some of them are really poorly linked (posts being linked to forum and thread, when it should just be the thread, then thread to forum).

Anywho, chances are I might be able to eventually figure a way of converting the table over, but it'd be a real brain fuck...we'll see...for now I've decided to create the database tables, then create the classes (php 4) and work on the templating...then by the time thats done I can hopefully update the classes to php5 with the server.

URL Scheme would no longer be

index/forum/id/page
index/thread/id/page
index/post/id
index/active_topics/page

It would become

/forum/page
/thread/id/page
/thread/post/id
forum/active/page

I think you should find a way to keep the accounts at least...can't be that hard?

go for it

Cool.

Maybe Chis, but the problem is I want to seperate the user table into

User
User Preferences

User : id, username, password, email, created, updated
User Preferences : Signature, WLM, Per Page, User Title, Karma, etc
