Default Import data as threads to forum from txt-file/csv

How can I Import data as threads/ posts to my vbulleting 3.8.3 forum from txt-file/csv ?

I have a list of topics created with titles and descriptions but I find it cumbersome to have to manually do data entry.

I want discussions on those topics and want to automate posting to the site. It can be from a single userid too.

here is what I hope:
1.) I would manually put in a set of users (takes a few minutes for that few)
2.) I manually put the text files into a .csv file or the equivalent. I assume it would be something like columns of:Forum ID, Thread ID, User ID, Date, Post (or whatever, just guessing)
3.) Then I would import the file, rebuild the threads,

Any help on achieving this would be much appreciated
