IPB > PHPBB

[Patrick S.]

So I need some help. I have a fairly large database in IPB 3.x (latest edition I believe). There is no *official* converter that I can find. The closes work around is IPB > VB > PHPBB. Problem is I don't own a VB license. Anyone know of another way to do this? Even just going to MYBB would work. Or does anyone know someone who could do this free?(sorry to ask for free, but i'm out of cash)
Thanks in advance.

I know you can't convert IPB 3.x to MyBB because they don't have converters for it. I converted my board from IPB 3.x to vBulletin 3.8.x then to MyBB. I was borrowing a friends vB credentials to do it but perhaps you can find a nulled vB (with impex) out there somewhere, you'll only be using it for a few minutes anyways.

I prefer not to use nulled software. I thought about it already though. Thanks for the suggestion.

SMF has a beta one: http://www.simplemachines.org/community ... c=477019.0

Thanks I didn't see that one when looking for conversions.
Going to try soon.

If you do use it, let me know how it works out. I was too afraid to try it myself because it says in bold red letters: "This is a beta, don't expect to obtain a working forum at the end of the process!"

It doesn't work. 😕
