We've had a seperate forum running in another database apart from vbulletin. I want to dump phpBB2 because the general server unfriendliness and other reasons.

I would like to import ONLY the user parts of the phpBB2 forum. I don't want to import categories, styles, or anything other than the posts and user names/passwords.

Looking at the importers, it appears they do a lot more than that.

I've got the info backed up as text file so I could just run queries but wouldn't that corrupt the existing vbulletin database?

Thanks

If you want posts, you need categorys right now, so you will need to import, categorys, posts, threads, and users.

You cannot just import the phpbb data, it would not work
