This is how I converted on SMF forum.

I will look into it and if I do write a converter I will post it here :)

if you have some deeper knowledge in php, mysql and regular expression - you can use the phpbb3 converter and make some change to the code. The code of the phpbb3 converter is understandable - you only must change the tables and row to match the database structure of the Woltlab Burning Board. Its only the question of understanding ...

Is it a big issue to restart with a blank, fresh forum?

Secondly, it seems that package has multiple forums in a single board package, which is completely different to bbPress.

Do you not like the current software you have?

I'd like to find out, whether there is a way to port the entries from an existing Woltlab Burning Board to bbPress. I'd be glad if you could help :)
