ProgressPond

Migrating 55,000+ posts, 900,000+ comments, 220,000+ users, and 2,000,000+ votes from a very old system to a modern and elegant WordPress website. The 14-year-old system had an out-of-date structure and very old Perl code with one-way password encryption, which was very challenging to migrate. Mapping the posts, comments, users and votes to the standard WordPress DB schema required very sophisticated knowledge to write intelligent automated code that can migrate the entities as well as the relations robustly and flawlessly. A new membership area and subscription model is introduced in the new site as well as an internal community to allow user communication.
