I didn't know which section to choose, but I guess the main thing is that this tool finally exists and not section in which it is published
Instructions
Backup your phpBB3 forum! (both db and code, I don't know what could possibly go wrong, and I guess you don't want to end up with totally new forum without any posts, right?
Delete all phpbb files and install brand-new PunBB forum
Download phpbb_converting_tool
Extract it into rootdir of your forum
Using Administration install the phpbb3_login extension
Run the phpbb.php file, choose what do you want to convert, fill in the phpbb database prefix (if any) aaand
Trigger it

Currently has been tested only on localhost on forum PhpBB 3.0.1 with approximately 700 users, 300 topics and 5000 posts. The script took 3sec on my crappy PC
where can i find the phpbb3_login extension
where can i find the phpbb3_login extension
Inside the downloadable tool...
phpbb_converting_tool\extensions\phpbb3_login
it didn't convert
Okay, maybe you'll have to take detour by converting it to 1.3.4 (what the tool was tested on...)
http://punbb.informer.com/svn/punbb/tags/punbb-1.3.4/
If you can convert to 1.3.4 it will be a breeze afterwards....
@epicguy11: Being little more specific could be handy... For example which versions of PunBB and PhpBB you tried to convert? Did it write some kind of error? What was the output of operation (did it write 100% to all despite doing anything, or some FATAL error, blank page... etc.?)
I was using:
-phpBB 3.0.9
-PunBB 1.4.1
Edit: lucky me i have a backup
