I just wanted to update this thread concerning converting a Discus board to vBulletin. So far most everyone I ran into said it couldn't be done, and most of the threads on this board that dealt with this issue dwindled off leaving the possiblity of this happening only in your dreams. Until now.

I found a programmer who could the job, and an EXCELLENT job at that.

I was running the latest version of Discus with about 1500 members (pruned it down since my last post). I was running this on Mysql by the way. The board was over 5 years old with about 20,000 posts.

Greg (the programmer) converted all of the user profiles to include passwords, all of the threads and topics - everything! All I needed to do was to recreate the Discus "topics" to vBulletin "forum" which was a piece of cake. There was absolutely no data lost.

I would highly recommend anyone considering converting their Discus forum to vBulletin to contact Greg at:

He did an outstanding job! You can view the new and improved forum here: http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/

What a great product, by the way! I'm glad I switched (sorry Discus!)
