I am currently running a forum based on the WebBBS software. WebBBS has not been updated for a very long time and we are starting to feel that it might be time to switch to another forum software.
The forum we run is old and contains several 100,000 messages stored in the archives. The first messages date back to 1998. Loosing the archived messaged from the last 10 years is not an option.
If we switch over to vBulletin is there a tool to import all these old messages from the WebBBS forum into a new vBulletin forum?
A related question: How do old vBulletin forums normally handle very old messages? Are very old messages stored in the same database or are old messages moved away into a read-only archive?
Thanks in advance.
