If you're doing this to keep an archive of contributions for assessment purposes, how about you just set each site to Unavailable and leave it there? Why bother to copy it? Can't see that it's a support issue. Blackboard is working as it should - DB contributions are tied to users. No users, no DB contributions.

Ray, thanks, I have put a support call in, we are going to test a copy
with users to see if the discussion messages come across, we will then
strip out the users.
Najib.

I don't know of a way to copy them.... We used to take a copy of any
discussions we wanted to keep and put them in to a document.

Discussion board messages are attached to user enrolments so they don't
come across as 'static' content.
Hope that makes sense

Hi,
Can anyone assist? We have used snapshot to copy across over 2000
courses with content but no users, I checked a handful and found that
all content copied across EXCEPT the discussion forum messages, we have
all the forums but not messages.
Any ideas? Any help welcome at this stage.
