But still of course if we have all the people screenshot their inventories someone has to sit there and go through them all.
Casually converting the entire Prophunt item and point records (at the VERY least, 50,000 unique players) into a format the new shop would use, whatever that new shop would be, is bound to throw a massive wrench in the works somewhere along the line. Provided that Pointshop 2 still works to a reasonable degree, it's probably not going anywhere anytime soon.
