I Have a Question
So how is the saved EP data supposed to work on this site once the download is complete, especially if you had a EP account?

I suspect that they'll create a new group, maybe "I Wrote Something on EP" and they'll just dump it all in that. I suggest this because they'll probably have deleted some of the stupid and/or duplicated group names by then, and they surely won't want to have to do that twice!😉
Then the original group name that the story was in - or the title of the question - could be in the header at the top of the story ...
The stories in the zips all seem to have the actual date they were originally posted - unlike the messages - but it's more than likely that those dates will be lost and replaced by the date you imported your zip ... maybe the original date will end up being part of the text? Who knows ...😕
As for the messages, I don't see how that can work anyway - at least half the people will either not be here, or they'll be using different names! And I have messages in my zip from over 40 people named deleted! That's not very helpful either!😂 So maybe the messages won't be included ...😅 (Edit - make that over 80 people called deleted!)
Groups - again, they'll probably get rid of a lot of the groups they imported from EP before then, so they'll either be lost to history, or they'll automatically be replaced under a generic group name that the old group has been merged with ...😯
It would probably be better to wait until after the zips have been imported before merging the groups, but then we'd have a time limit for importing our zips, and they'd be swamped!😉
And of course, the stories no longer have images ...😓
