here ya go!
Here's a decent example. Still some glitches I have to iron out, but I imported 9000 posts, 12 forums, and about 260 members without much trouble. Aside from the code changes I had to make to compensate that I ran a hacked (very hacked) version of the freeware.

eh
I ran into a few problems with server timeouts, but that was on my end.
Other than that, from the time I closed my UBB, I got vBulletin running and open in about 40 minutes. I had to re-do some of the graphics, but other than that it was great. The templates are a little hard to get used to, but once you do, they are AWESOME, slick as hell.

The Straight Dope Message Board is running in Vbulletin after an 8-hour conversion (involving over 450K posts) last Saturday. There were some glitches with timestamps, and the archives are still awaiting conversion, but it mostly went well.
I don’t know the technical stats, but performance is way up from the user’s standpoint. It’s been months since we’ve gone a whole week without a crash. Our biggest problem is that the improved performance is encouraging people to post more. A lot more. Our poor T-1 is gonna die of overwork and loneliness soon if it doesn’t get a mate!
It might be worth a visit to our site if only to peruse the "About This Message Board" forum. Our membership is quite vocal about what they like and don't like about the new software, and one can get a good education into what users are thinking.
Just ignore the parts where we slap them upside the head for quibbling over the small stuff when there has been such a big overall improvement.Comment
