For the most part, it was fine. We did it early, so we only had about 20 members at the time, but it they lost all their passwords and had to either send for a new one (e-mail), or have me change it.
Their birthdays were also changed to something random, if they didn't already have one entered. There is an automatic usernote created, too, that says "Imported User." All forums (categories, sub-forums) were reset to normal forums, but this wasn't a problem.
That is all, I think. You'll be fine, and I highly suggest doing it.

Sounds good as I only have 35 members & I will just reset all the birthdays. Passwords could be more complicated, but I'll get around it.
