that's what I did, but I wonder if a simple data mapping exercise would work, I wouldn't even try to relate the old posts with current users, but at least keep the old posts and threads together with just old username displayed (no link profile etc).

As vB, PHP, MySQL continue to move on and Discusware still stuck 10+ years old functionality has continued to go away to point now archives are almost unusable.
