Mass forum creation

[Digma]

I've been searching the messageboard for an answer to my problem regarding 'mass forum creation', but I have been unable to find anything on it but a thread dating back to 2005. Hence me asking the question in here.

I have started working on a new project that will in the end is supposed to have a huge interactivity between the main site and the messageboard. This project will require me to add a couple of hundred forums, all with the same settings but different names.

Now I could add them all manually and order a new wrist + hand from the local 'arms and legs dealer', but I'd rather do it in a more efficient way then mentioned above.

Does anyone know of a mass forum creation add-on/tool that allows me to f.e. set all the standard permissions and then add the forums (categories I can add manually) through a form below those standard permissions, but with the option to enter say 10, 20 or even more names at a time?

Thanks in advance for taking your time to read and reply to this question

vb version 3.7.3 or 3.8

You could create it with the forum datamanager.

Do you mean that you don't know how to use it, or that you're daft because you didn't had the idea?
