Hey there,
we're running on of the most visited blogs about Apple Inc., yet powered by Wordpress 3.8.x
I've read a lot about vB5.1 and the upcoming CMS. We'd love to change our whole system to vBulletin, getting our 20.000 articles and 150.000 comments imported in the vB 5.1 CMS, build up the forum and maybe pay for the native mobile app.
And I looked around here, read some of the topics, but I haven't got it yet, although I've tried the search engine several times:
is there any chance to import these large database of articles into the CMS of vBulletin 5.1? When do yo guys plan to release the Gold version of 5.1? We don't wanna use the blog feature, or maybe only for our visitors/members to post something besides the comment section. The CMS is the most important part for us, the forum would be a nice gimmick.
At the moment we're running a native iOS universal app also, which data is delivered by the Wordpress-RSS. It would be possible to use the vBulletin-RSS instead of the Wordpress-RSS, right? Otherwise we should be okay with the Mobile Suite and the native iOS app for extra charge.
We still own a valid license of the vBulletin 4 Suite, with the blog feature and the CMS. I tried to import our Wordpress database to a mirror installation of this suite, but ImpEx only supports Wordpress 'til 2.3.1, and we're running 3.8.1 atm. Because I'd the idea of transfering the data into the vB4 installation and upgrade it afterwards, but it won't work. And we have not the time and the mood to downgrade to Wordpress v2.3.1, import our database then to a vBulletin v4.2.2 installation and upgrade it afterwards to vBulletin 5.1 as far as the CMS will be supported xD
Okay, my questions summarized:

Okay, my questions summarized:
- When do we have to expect vBulletin 5.1?
- Can we import our large database with thousands of articles and comments into the 5.1 CMS?
- Do we have to use ImpEx for the import? Is it still runnable with vBulletin 5?
- Will be database import be possible with the latest Wordpress installation (3.8.x)?
