Suggestions forum not allowing new threads?

Yeah... Followed a link to the sub-forum itself and didn't see that thread. Would be nice if that thread was also in the sub-forum itself to avoid confusion.Comment

Are you offering to go through the 18,000 threads and help convert them? Sure, PHP could do some of the work. But individual discretion is needed for further classifications into the JIRA system.
Much too much work for vBulletin as is.Comment

Give me moderation rights in that forum and yes i will read and convert all to Jira.Comment

We are not talking about just some threads there. Those are threads where people took a lot of effort of explaining and discussing how functions can be improved, what new functions should be added and how they should work. At least half of those threads are still valid. IB already asked us to port threads over to the 2nd suggestion forum. After that was partly done, they closed down that suggestion forum as well. Anyway, Im sure that the suggestion forum can be migrated into JIRA with the help of the community or by assigning interns.I buy 420 forums

I see no reality check there. By your line of reasoning posting 300 suggestions threads would be unrealistic as well.I buy 420 forums

Sorry, but I do not agree with you. I posted ideas to 300 of those threads. WAB also contributed to many of those threads. This gives a lot more motivation than how you think it up. 10 an hour is also not realistic. 60 an hour seems more like it.

60 an hour for 10 hours is 600. That's about a month (30 days) of work for one person, assuming he works 10-hour shifts non-stop at 60 threads processed an hour for 30 consecutive days - no mistakes or errors. Quite frankly, I'd be amazed if anyone would put in this kind of work for free.
Again, I don't believe the threads should be deleted nor the forum. But converting all of them to the tracker would be a monumental amount of work.Comment

Well you have a few choices with this leave it as it was and do nothing with it, this is easy and well its a shame of all the threads with good ideas to make the software better. The other choice is moderator rights a new prefix called Jira so that you can change the topic prefix when your done so you know what you have done and people can see the progress. It will be slow no question about it you need to read and copy paste to Jira then you also need to link to the thread in Jira for more information did that all ready with the CMS topic that was being discussed and that was harder it was growing every day.
I maybe complaining a lot about the state vBulletin is in but i would help where ever i can to make it better or help to solve problems if i can.Comment

Okay, let's make it 60 an hour. Which is one per minute. At this rate we're going to assume a script has been set-up to enter the information in each thread to be submitted to the server and processed from there and then added to the database.
