And how did you restore them to another site?

I know no other social network has working migration yet, but that
doesn't make it any less necessary if you're asking people to move to
their own statusnet instances!

It was part of the reason.  Another part was I had no idea just how
horribly broken pump.io still would be when the switch happened.  Like
now I'm getting emails telling me I'm being mentioned and when I click
the links, they're text server errors.

But hey, I'm sure you know why I do stuff better than I do :-/
