A side-effect of the process, now I have passed the January 2020 point at which Discourse comments were introduced, by which I re-tag posts and migrate old (non-Discourse) comments over is that the posts which have old WordPress comments on them will show up here as freshly commented upon, as I post the one comment which contains all the old comments.

There’s not really a good way around this, so I’ll be going slowly so as not to flood the place. Hopefully, we can just look at it as a chance to revisit the past’s greatest hits.

Did we lose some information about quotes or who replied to whom in the process of the migration? The comments on [As We Wax Hot In Faction](https://eldraeverse.discourse.group/t/as-we-wax-hot-in-faction/1740) seem a bit off

Yeah, those ones are just in chronological order because, well I’m still figuring out how to deal with all the WordPress export XML. I think I’m going to need to write a tool to turn chunks of the export into formatted threads with dependencies - if there’s even a clean way to do that.
