Yeah, if it was only the db, perhaps, but I need to convert the character sets which can only be done by dropping the db and the creating it and loading the data. I've tried every other option. Since the two versions are incompatible, a db slave won't update with the data from the old db. I tried that too.
In addition, I have to sync the new server with all the cached html files and new image uploads which takes a while too. There's just no good way to have people posting and getting stuff updated in 2 places.
