But still, I think you are missing the point. If you read through this thread you will see everyone that has used the official one thought it was horrible. I can vouch for that. I tried it first, and I was very dissapointed. I purchased vb a week back and my biggest concern was converting my phpBB board over to vb. I would have to say if the only thing available at the time was the offical convertor script, I would have been kicking and screaming to vb asking why they could call a script an 'official phpBB convertor' when it does a horrible job. The script posted here works great. Sure, a couple of things my have issues, but the end result of this script vs the official script is 1000 times better. To be honest, I would have not purchased vb if I had not found this thread. Reading how bad the official script is and what state it leaves your forums in, I would not have wasted my time. But I have to thank Nebula for putting in the time to do something correct. After reading how well his script works, and using it myself, I can now convert over with out any major issues.

Thanks
