Keith thought it to be too much time, effort, cost and code skill for him to do but I had proposed taking all the Anchorage member and post ID's, and writing a script to give them an offset. Say, if the Aerodrome has 1000 members make member #1 right now member #1501; similarly if the Aerodrome has 100,000 posts remap post #1 here to #200,000. Then run another script to compare Aerodrome and Anchorage users by registration email and merge the duplicates under Aerodrome account numbers, then another to assign the Anchorage subforums new Aerodrome-compliant forum ID's and finally just merge the entire Anchorage database into the Aerodrome.
