Those of you who do get the script should watch out for:

• usergroups are converted, but instead of putting admin, moderator, super moderator, registered, etc in the existing vBulletin usergroups the script seems to make all new usergroups with similar names, and then imports all the users adding them to these new usergroups. It's not a big deal really, if you are versed in MySQL you can fix this with a few commands.
• My account was imported to the forum and instead of replacing userid 1 it was given userid 2, which makes me the second user in the database and as such some admin functions in vB are visible to userid 1. Again, this was easily fixed with some MySQL commands meant to search and replace userids.
• Forum options and permissions are not converted, or are converted poorly.

• IPB has 4 default usergroups (admin, members, guest, awaiting confirmation). Users out of these groups are imported in the corresponding vB usergroups. Every other IPB usergroup is a custom one and created for vB.
• The only thing where vBulletin relies on userids exclusivley is the viewing and pruning of the adminlog. You can change the userid in admin/config.php.
• The systems are very different in saving forum permissions. No I won't try to include it and you learn how to set forum permissions. The importer imports all forum settings that can be imported, I hope.
