Will there be a converter for moving a MegaBBS 2.x board over to SMF?  Currently, ThreeStooges.net is built around MegaBBS, but when SMF Beta 4.0 went public I was curious and set-up a new site for posting political articles, at AllTheWorldsAStooge.com, and I've fallen in love with SMF.

I'm a complete Newbie at PHP, so I'm hesitant to tackle it myself, although I'm sure I can work it out using ASP.  If there is (or will be) a converter available, though, I'd much rather use that.  As it is, I've working on learning PHP so I can convert the rest of the ThreeStooges.net database over to it.

Can you tell me where/how the posts are stored?  Considering it's ASP I assume that means MS SQL?

No, the BBS database is actually Micrsoft Access.  (My Stooges data is stored separately in a MySQL db.)

I should add that I do have the BBS database structure converted over to MySQL, as I was trying for a while to convert the MegaBBS scripts to use MySQL.
