But external links don't seem to work (e.g. from www.casiopeia.net).I guess you are not planning to add some kind of compatibility layer, so I need to fix them myself...
Incrementing everything by 100000 to prevent overlaps then remapping old ID links to new ones would have been the ideal scenario for other sites, but the debate is closed by now since what's done is done.
All the old forum links on the site have been converted! Only topic and post links have been converted though. The next step will be to convert the download links.An example script for how to update an entire forum to use the correct links for omnimaga will be released soon. There are some performance issues that Eeems is trying to resolve. These issues were not a problem for us due to how powerful our VPS is, but for external sites that don't have the same stats as Omnimaga might not be able to run the conversion scripts that Eeems has created in their current form.

All the other "solutions" are just bandaids that temporarily fix the problem. If I've learned anything as a professional web developer, temporary solutions are never the best option. It's better to spend the money now to solve something, even if it causes a few temporary issues that can easily be resolved then to put in a bandaid that will cost more to fix in the long run.

That pretty much sums up why this route was taken.
