OK.
So we create a parallel Vanilla forum to receive the migrated content. Parallel, but with the look & feel & themes & plugins that we've got here atm.
Would the parallel Vanilla forum have to mirror the MR structure?
Feedback
True ... *IF*.
And it also depends on what the security issue is. Do they think that some content has already been violated in a way that would persist if the db moved to a different platform. Or is the issue that content *could* be violated. Or is it that some other aspect of the forum could be compromised (member data for eg).
That content had a lot of value to a lot of people ... if MR aren't going to bring it back to us, then we should explore options to retrieve it ... might not be workable, but I'd at least like to *know* it's not workable (and why), rather than just assume that it wouldn't work.
If there's only a 10% chance (and it's probably not that high!), it's worth a little exploration and perhaps some formal discussions with whoever owns/controls/decides within the MR structure.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Could they not put the MR forum back up as read only/ archive if they can't get it going again? A lot of forums archive older threads in this way and then the useful stuff wouldn't be lost ( although wether they would be so altruistic is another matter).
