I was surprised to find that this wasn't already a thing, as it seems like Xenforo has gained some large popularity. I searched the forums and was't able to find anything real, and was curious if it's possible.

I co-own a pretty large community that recently moved from vBulletin to Xenforo. However after migrating, I realized there aren't many modifications for Xenforo, and some features are lacking. I've used SMF in the past and loved it, and was wondering how difficult it would be to convert. If I missed a tool for this, please link me, I looked all over.

The forum I run has over 70K members with 80K posts since we migrated. I am familiar with databases and mysql, however have never done anything like this. All information would be great.

It seems there isn't, yet. And I'm not sure if someone is working in it or not...
The thing is, there aren't that many requests to it...

And to write one from scratch is quite a pain...
Furthermore, it would require a valid license in order to use the software, therefore someone:
- has to be capable of doing it
- has to own or buy a license...

I've encountered this:

But it's paid (and the price isn't that affordable...)

You can always try the "intermediate solution", that means go from XF to phpBB or others (who do have a converter available) and from those to SMF.
