thats not very difficult. You must only write a script that takes your users in the vbulletin database. The vbulletin is mysql based.

2. We have a setup of 4 load balanced webservers, does vBulletin use flat files for anything at all or is it *completely* mysql based?

3. How does vB respond to heavy load? I was reading another thread where people were saying there were something like 20+ QUERIES on some of their pages, we have enough problems keeping our database server from not bogging down all of its processors and exhausting gigs of memory. Why so many queries? I find it hard to go past 4 or 5 queries on a page, if I do that I have done something wrong.

The vbulletin has many features. You can reduce the queries if you set some features of. Many features needs many queries.
