I have tried this importer...and succeeded effortlessly (other than having to move all the backup files from the old server to the one with MySQL!). Very nice job indeed on this hack! Only had 550 users and 2600 posts, but didn't want to lose them!!!

The only problem is the password issue...everyone has to request their password, which is sent to them in the crypt() form because that's how it is imported from UB2K. If there was a defined 'salt char' for crypt() in UB2K, someone could create a good hack to be able to use the encrypted passwords after importing. The one that just came out involves asking the user if they want ther pw encrypted. Why go through all that trouble...just force them all to be encrypted...it's more secure anyway! So a random password would have to be generated if they lost thiers...big deal, they just come back and change it after loggin in!

Oops...sorry about that...anyway, again - excellent hack...you should see sales rise from those not wanting to convert because they couldn't import UB2K messages!!
