+## Step-by-Step procedure for Prepping a Legacy fore.st dataset for Migration Ingestion
+1. Log-in to your legacy fore.st server and dump the database `mysqldump --quick --skip-lock-tables -u forest -p forest > forest.sql`
+2. Copy the database file locally, make a second copy called 'users.sql' 
+3. Pop the bitch in VIM (or a lamer editor) and find the line that looks like ```INSERT INTO `users` VALUES```
+4. Delete that line and everything above it.
+5. Drop down to the last username entry and delete everything between it and EOF.
+6. You should now have a list that contains user information to be ingested by Canopies migration utilities.

+**ALWAYS DELETE THIS FILE AFTER IT HAS BEEN INGESTED BY CANOPY, LEAVING A FILE CONTAINING OUTDATED HASHES, EMAILS,  AND IP'S IS IRRESPONSIBLE AS SHIT!!**
+**DATABASES HAVE SECURITY FEATURES FOR A REASON!!!**
