    Hello all,

    I am soon to start a new forum, i have hosting and domain paid for but not the cash for vBulletin so i am going to go with one of the free ones, like PHPBB but in the future would like to go over to vbulletin or IPB, can i move stuff like forum posts and members from the PHPBB forum to the others in the future?

    Thanks!

    Yep, there is a tool called "Impex", that imports the data from another forum software that you have installed into a vBulletin installation :)

    EDIT: I forgot to say that IPB have a similar tool, but I'm not sure what it's called as I have never used it.
