Will I be able to migrate my forum to Flarum?

Yes, but not for a while. Our focus right now is on getting Flarum stable and feature-complete. Once we’re confident that Flarum is ready to be used in production, we’ll start building tools to import data from other forum software like esoTalk, FluxBB, phpBB, and others.

=> no migration to that one yet :(

"Specify avatar by URL"
method, I updated mine recently this way. You will have to post your avatar somewhere, i.e. imgur

You would at least need to migrate the user names .. everything else would open up an attack vector for social engineering

how's that? trust no one is especially true in crypto world

only thing you have to do is verify mods/admins but that's not hard since we all have at least one independent channel in common
