The PHPBB => SMF convertor
Oldiesmann:
When I ran it, I was converting a phpBB 2.06 board (I think), and the only thing that it didn't convert were moderators and permissions, and the "recount stats" thing didn't work either, although that might have been due to illegal characters in some of the nicknames.
Kerux:
* Kerux is desperate, because he wants to be running an SMF board
agian....I plead LoL. What can I do to get it to convert the messages and polls? mods and permissions i can do myself and am not really interested in converting, but the thing that seems like it would be hard to do by hand is the messages and polls. and thats the only thing that didnt copy (that i see) even though there were no errors. i would convert them by hand if i could.

All errors fixed! You will want to check on any created categories, boards, or topics to decide what to do with them.

Do you want to send me your FTP password (again I think :/, I delete them so they don't pose problems for people...) and I can try it?
