Oh. If you are an existing user and don't know your password, I'll modify the 'I forgot my password' functionality to migrate when it resets a password though that relies on having a a good profile email address. If you are an existing user and don't know your password and don't have a good profile address, then it will be time to contact an admin.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Do we/can we keep our original signup number? I like my second decade (18) sign in number. A minor thing, but one I'm proud of.
Aw, man. I just read my profile page. My tagline graveyard is quotes from a dozen years or more of Buffista history, including Frankenbuddha and Ginger.

Yes. You'll have your original user id number. If you have multiple accounts with the same e-mail address only one will remain though as the new site doesn't allow duplicate e-mail addresses.

Our wings are not tired.
Beverly asked the questions I had! Also, delighted to stay sweet 16.
Things should quiet down for me shortly and I'll be able to test and participate more. Thank you again, Gud! Your efforts are very much appreciated. Brendon will test the new user function when that is an option!

As usual, I haven't had a lot of time, but I've migrated users and thread metadata successfully and I'm attempting to migrate 1.8 million posts right now. It's been a slow process since I've had make a bunch of fixes to get things to migrate, but so far this migrate run is looking good. If it works, I'll update the beta site.
This won't be the last step. I'll still need to migrate bookmarks, blocked users, and thread subscriptions. But it will let people test out things w/ migrated content (albeit about a month old).

I hope my script was helpful.

Beta site is going to be offline for awhile. Trying out thread migration.

Beta site it back. It feels a lot more real populated with a bunch of data.
Some caveats: Migration is not finished, so this is just testing stuff out. Current positions in threads, subscriptions, bookmarks, and blocked users are not migrated at this stage. The database was reset so if you already had an account on the beta site it was deleted. Since user data is migrated, you can log in with your regular buffista login but you will immediately be required to reset your account in order to have a secure password hash. (You don't need to reset with a different password, but the site can't just migrate password hashes so the process needs to be manual even if the password doesn't change). The site is at beta.buffistas.com
