Topic: Hey all, I'm new here, but so far I like the lean coding

Yeah I'm from DistortGaming.com  and the site is currently using phpnuke (which I want to migrate away from)
one hurdle was to save all the posts and users from the modulized version of phpbb,  I tried converters that converted:
nuke to bb
bb to invision (with some hacking)
etc, etc
So after some web surfing I found punBB , I never heard of it until today.  (I don't want to use phpbb anyways, and I want out of phpnuke because of security worries)

all failed with some kind of fault (for ex: nuke to bb was great, except I could no longer log in as admin to administer the board)
but the converter that someone from your community made for punBB worked great, of course I had to rename the sql entries nuke_users to nuke_bbusers  then use the prefix nuke_bb in the converter tool, but it worked great, probably because the converter tool itself allowed me to add an admin afterwards.

Anyways, feel free to compare (of course avatars and smilies arn't the same, but meh)  http://www.distortgaming.com/modules.php?name=Forums
and http://antix.distortgaming.com/punbb/index.php

I wish private messaging was build in and that private messaging mod I'm thinking of installing(then re-converting once I'm ready to change over)  was able to email the user when a new private message arrives(not sure if it does already, but I researched and apparently it doesn't yet)

Anyways, kudos to Rickard Andersson
