Hi,

Here is my situation.

I am potentially going to take ownership of an IP 2.2 forum.

I am running vbulletin 3.8

I want to import all of the users and threads into my forum as the main reason I want to take ownership of it is for the members and content.

How exactly would I go about doing this?

I noticed there is an import tool that comes with the vbulletin software (impex) Should I convert IP2.2 to VB first and then look to merge the two VB forums? Or can I important IP 2.2 straight into my VB?

The reason this is a bit more complicated it because I'm not just looking for a straight conversion. I need to convert and merge.

The other tricky bit is there will be some forums on the Ip 2.2 board that I don't want and others I want to move into my existing forum. IS that going to be easy to do?

Lastly, would Vbulletin do this work if I asked them? (paif of course)

Thanks in advance.

Daniel
