[Vantive]

Marco, thanks for the reply!

There are a couple chicken / egg problems here:

1) It sounds like the suggestion is to buy a license to test IF an import will work to see if I should buy a license? I need to know for sure in advance that the import will work before I buy a license. This can be accomplished two ways: 1) I get a free trial and attempt the conversion myself or with help. or 2) I get a master vBulletin expert that guarantees they can get the conversion to work.

2) I've seen others here with the same problem regarding posting service requests: They want to find a programmer before they buy the license, but they are told they can't post a request for a programmer until they buy a license.

Hopefully you can see the potential frustration from people who are still trying to see if VB will be a good solution.

I know VB is a great product, and I'd love to go back in time to tell myself to start with it, but I've got too much skin in the game to make a decision without knowing for sure it will work perfectly.
