This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

Theoretically as long as the SQL database with all the users/posts is intact you can plug it into even a different kind of forum architecture, I migrated a forum from one kind of another once myself, so if that is intact they could literally just reinstall the forum software and it'd all be there (well, apart from custom themes/emoticons/etc). But as Gimme said, if someone could fuck up one they'd have just as much access to the other, they'd usually be on the same servers with the same levels of permissions.

There's really not much benefit to speculation here.
