I asked vb.com first via a support ticket. They were not terribly helpful.

This particular software saw it's last release in 2002 based on research no one else had ever made an importer for it. But early versions of the VB 2 importer supported it (later versions dropped it).

A two or even three-stage import isn't a problem for me. I do a great many custom migrations and have tools for formatting conversion. Password loss is something I already told the client they were facing, sometimes that can't be avoided due to different hashing methods not being supported by the final forum software.

Next week I start work on making changes to my own already existing custom import tools to accommodate this forum. I like to avoid reinventing the wheel if I can which is why I asked here, but sometimes I have to resort to rolling my own.
