This thread has left me quite impressed with your helpfulness. A user asked about a feature and you just *DID* it. It might have taken you a little while, but it was still phenomenally fast compared to any corporate support I've had the unfortunate opportunity to experience. I ran a rather popular community in the past and was quite devastated by our hosting company simply disappearing, with no backups and no valid contact info. Naturally, support for backing up the data was the first thing I looked into when I signed up here. I read the TOS and was discouraged to find "You may not use software programs to extract data from Nabble or use any automated means of using Nabble or extracting information from Nabble." This seemed to me to indicate that backups were *not* permitted. Just before this it mentions that "Except for your own content, you may not copy or republish Nabble's collection of posts or any portion of the collection." It was my impression that all posts are the property of the poster, not the message board admin, and therefore I would not be permitted to download my other users's posts, just my own. From the context surrounding these statements in the TOS I can see that it was not the intent to prevent performing backups, but it seems to me to not be worded as clearly as it could. Is there perhaps a way to make it so that someone registering at my board would have to agree to my own TOS just for my board that would explicitly grant me the right to backup, store, and republish any posts made on the board at my own personal discression?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
