Is it possible to merge two different forums (fudforum engine) which are located on two separate domains? I mean may I move for example all threads and messages from http://www.fudforum1.com to http://www.fudforum2.com?

Yes, it is possible you can use FUDAPI to fetch data from one forum and import into the other, or manually transfer data via SQL.

Thank you for reply. 3 more questions.

1. Please where i can get the FudAPI?
2. Which tables should I move?
3. And what about the plain text files in /fudforum/messages ? Actually where the text messages are stored? In these files or in the database?

thank you.

FUDAPI is part of the forum you can find it inside the scripts/ directory

You need to fetch all user records and all message records and import them.

In terms of sql tables you are looking at cat,forum,thread,msg,users table.
