Populating categories, subcategories and threads can be scripted in version 5 although it has to be custom coded for each individual circumstance. I have not done it on any other version, but I imagine it is possible. Maybe some of the others have thoughts on ver 3 or 4. I think 7000 individual forums/categories could cause a performance issue for ver 5 at least. One usergroup per forum, that is a lot of usergroups as well. Version 3 may be better suited for this size of forum due to it's lower overhead if it's even possible. Are you migrating from another forum platform or building one from scratch?
