Yep phpBB is a shitter, but it has years of posts and about 61/2k members, Id rather use something else, but not sure of anything I can import posts and members too.

Anyone got any ideas?

basically any php/mysql thingie can be imported into another, if there isn't a tool out there already, some code monkey can easily knock one up. all he needs to know is the structure of the old and the new database, to avoid messing up fields.

A phpbb fourm can be imported into VB that exact change happened on the nochex fourm about a year ago, they moved from phpbb to vb to offer more powers to the mods/admin.

phpbb is more hackable then vb but according to chris at http://www.colo-cation.com/ phpbb is a more stable then vb.
