Basically the guy used to be the GM 3.5 years ago back in Cata, was a really nasty dude. Eventually he left the game and passed GM, and since he was so uniersally disliked, he was eventually removed and now in-game wise, he has no power over the guild. he hasn't been active in over 3 yrs and the guild has come a long, long way since.
however this is where the trouble is, he is still the shivtr site owner technically. he logged the site earlier to say something threatening on site "shame to see how you guys forgot your original GM considering i'm nice enough to let you continue using my cite", something along those lines. we deactivated him on site but still saw him on, and we're inferring a very strong threat on his part to delete the site.
we looked it up and it seems if he does so, we'll at least get a 14 day's notice. now, the contents of the site are really valuable to use and there's a huge element of sentimental attachment to some of the threads we have. there are almost 4 years worth of people's effort and fun memories and pics/screenshots in there we don't want to lose.
Is there anyone shivtr savvy enough here to know if there's some way to backup the entire database of all the site's threads/received applications/everything and simply move to a completely different site with them that is under our ownership?
