Looking to move/convert an adult forum that's been around for 10 plus years from another owner to my dedicated server. The forum is on YABB software, and the community there wants to move to PHPBB, as it's far superior in so many ways. My question is this: is this even possible, or is it just difficult? Have any of you done this yourselves or had a developer do it?

I've looked through the PHPBB boards and this particular conversion doesn't seem to have a lot of documentation whatsoever. So I'm kind of thinking that maybe there's another avenue? I'd hate to just scrap all of that community cultivated content and have to start completely fresh.

Anybody have any input here? Thanks so much in advance.
