Importing Discus into a new VBulletin board

[docvader]

I'm in the process of setting up a new Apple Xserve to host the ever burgeoning discussion forum on my web site, russbo.com, and I was thinking of changing from Discusware's Discus forum, to this VBulletin. (I am overly impressed with the functionality and professionalism of your board). Problem is, I have over 8500 messages on the current Discus board, most of which I would like to keep because of its informative value.

I realize that currently there are no hacks for importing Discus to VBulletin, though some people have done it. Quite frankly, I am not computer literate enough to do this importation myself. I'd be willing to employ someone to do this for me, once I purchased the license for VBulletin, and had it set up on my server. VBulletin appears to offer all that I wanted in my new forum, but, it's hard to leave all the data that has been accumulated over the past two years.

Any suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate some help with this issue. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Thanks! Appreciate the time and effort.
