Well, I already recreated my users etc. (and I also changed the boards in this one), but I want to still convert the posts that have been made and credit them to the users but put them all in the 'archive' board... is there a converter to do this?

Not without some serious code modifications  :(

The message conversion process relies on the users, categories and boards (forums) having been created using known ID numbers matching the phpBB ID numbers. As you've already got users and new boards on your new system, your IDs won't match the old phpBB IDs which will make the conversion process much more tricky.

It's not impossible to code, but the current converter won't do it for you.

You'd pretty much have to do it manually, and this would be a pain in the rear to do, unless you've only got a few topics to move. Any more than about 10 or 20 is going to be a lot of work.

Why not use the existing converter and move all the topics into the archive board?
