Hi All,
 
I need to import a load of forums, users and topics/threads from a phpBB install to a fresh WWF forum. I'm not concerned about users passwords not working - they can either reset it themselves or I can write a script to give them all new passwords and email it to them.
 
If there isn't a script to do this already, I don't mind paying someone to write one for me.
