Default Merge vB > vB Script?

I know a lot of people would get a lot of use out of a hack like this, me especially.

I recently took control of another website, which had a vBulletin fourm on it, and I'd like to merge the content of that forum (users, posts, attachments, etc) into mine. Both of the forums are fairly large (1000 users with 40,000 posts each) and some of the usernames are the same, since both sites were about the same topic.

Is there any kind of script out there that can do this? What would it take to write a script like this?

I'm willing to pay the person who decides to take it on.

hmm, merging posts, forums, threads would be easy, but users with same name will make a problem

are these many users with the same names or can you change usernames manually because they aren't too much?

also are some users also the same people or completele different?

All of the users are the same people. The two forums were in quasi-competition with each other and uh, we won 99.9% of the people with idenitical users names are the same people, and the .1% that might not be, probably don't visit so I can delete them if I have to.

Neo, if you wrote this script I would be your slave for life. How near future are we talking? I don't mean to sound pushy but I REALLLLLLYYY would like to use this script. JamesUS said over at vB.com that he might make one, but they are so overwhelmed with vB3 that I doubt it'll happen soon.

One good thing is though, he said this will be a standard feature of vB3 (don't let that discourage you though )

Taken into consideration that almost all the users are the same, it should be OK to just forget about the users table unless it was necassary.
