*sighs* what is everyones want to do this for?

Anyway, your going to run impex and import the board, It would be far easier and less time consuming to upgrade, and run uninstallers for hacks then use impex to import vB3 > vB3 and rebuild counters.

But its your call, you can read more about impex in the vBulletin 3 docs
