    Hmmm, not entirely sure I understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to transfer your PHPBB forum to a different web hosting account where you plan to install and run wordpress?

    Are you looking to convert your threads to posts and threadreplies to post comments?
    I'm not sure if something like that exists.
