Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Geoffro73 Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Hello all, After almost 12 years, i am closing my forum down, And is simple as it may be, i am not sure on the correct steps to do so. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Geoff
Randy Calvert Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Is this a self-hosted forum or a IPS cloud forum? If it's self hosted... Make a full backup of your data (just in case!) Remove all of the IPS related files from your website Remove the mySQL database and database user associated with your IPB instance If you're not keeping your license, submit a ticket asking for your license to be set to not be automatically renewed. https://invisioncommunity.com/contact-us/. If it's IPS hosted... Submit a ticket and ask for the service to be ended. (You might also ask for a copy of the data just in case!) Geoffro73 and Marc 2

Marc Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Sorry to hear you are no longer continuing with your community. In your case you would be following the self hosted route mentioned above. If you are unsure on how to do any of those, please contact your hosting company who should be able to assist you. Geoffro73 1
