Topic: Merging an existing PunBB forum with a vBulletin forum

Hi,

I've been wondering if an existing PunBB forum can be merged with an existing vBulletin forum, keeping -of course- PunBB as the main forum system.

Does anyone know if this is feasible?

Has anyone tried anything similar before?

Thank you!

Merging can be done, but it isn't the simplest thing to do wink
The simplest way would be to convert the vB forum to PunBB and then try merging the two PunBB forums.

All database content migration is possible if you have the necessary data on it and dare to code migration tools.

You will need somewhere to define by hand the source and destination forums match.

Also, some user policies need to be defined, like, what to do with duplicated emails, nicknames, et all

and more stuff that i don't remember of

Is there any merge tool out there?
