Well, I did this for a friend and I saw some request for this tool before, so here you got.
My code is based on the import scripts that you found on vbulletin.com.
What it does?
- Merge: users, forums, threads, posts, polls, PMs and attachments of two vBulletin databases.
- It allows to associate usernames with current vBulletin users, to prevent duplication
Both databases should be in the same server, and use the same password.
If there's a duplicated name in both databases, the script will postfix the username from the database you're merging with something like: [imported]. So you probably will find users that looks like username[imported] after the merge. To solve this problem of two usernames being one person, there's a tool in the script to merge users individually.
New version
- The database to merge can now have a different host/username/password. *
- Ability to auto merge users with the same username (to avoid 4000 users with the [imported] thing. ) *
- You can now skip the forum merging, and use the tool only to merge users.
- The poll bug seems to be fixed now. Post your feedback.
Installation:
Simply upload the attached file to /forum/importers/ and go to your Admin CP > BB Import Systems and choose vBulletin Merge Tool for v2.2.x.
Note that this script requires vBulletin 2.2.7 (or newer) to work. I have tested it with 2.2.6 but you need to upgrade the file /forum/admin/bbimport.php to the version you found on vBulletin 2.2.7 or newer.
Important Information:
This merger is beta! You should backup everything before starting. Use it under your own risk!
I decided to reopen this thread with a new version of this merger. I hope it fixes all the problems with previous versions.
REMEMBER:
If you're going to merge two database that are located on the same host, you SHOULD use a different hostname for both database.
For example:
If you have 'localhost' configured as your $servername variable on the admin/config.php file, and you want to merge a database stored on the same server, you should use something like '127.0.0.1'. Another example... If you have $servername configured to 'vbulletin.org', and you want to merge a database located on vbulletin.org, use the IP address for that server instead... In this case '205.214.66.221'. Get it?
Sorry, I'm not very good with english and it's very hard to explain this. I hope you've understood this.

Database error in vBulletin Merge Tool 2.3.2:
Link-ID == false, connect failed
mysql error:
mysql error number: 0
Date: Sunday 02nd of November 2003 07:58:20 AM
Script: http://otnforums.snooboo.com/importers/bbimport_vb2.php?&action=start
You're not typing the right values for the database you want to merge, and hence, the script cannot connecto to it.
If you want, send me your details such as admincp login/password and username, password and database name of the database you want to merge and I should be able to tell you what's the problem.
Due to restrictions on my server, I'm not able to create new MySQL databases. This being the case, I only have two dumps of the forums I'd like to combine, but I have no way to load them to real databases. If I sent someone the dump files, would anyone be able to do this for me?
