Hello!
I use currently vBulletin 3.6.5 and would like to switch to bbpress. 2 questions:
1) Is there an importer? For threads / forums / users?
2) How does it look like with performance? Is it comparable? Especially with larger boards (300-500 users online)?
Thanks!!!
1. Unfortunately there's nothing I can find. No-one on these forums has posted about switching from vBulletin yet, presumably because they've invested in it. I can't help since, well, it's licensed. Maybe you can look at the data structure yourself and write a converter?
2. No idea, but my guess is far better for performance. That's one of the main reasons for bb's existence - to provide even faster forum software than the best the Wordpress people could get their hands on. :)
I am not a developer, so that I can't write something like a converter!
And I also have a paid license for vBulletin. But BBPress seems to fit much better to my needs. That is why, I look forward for somebody to help us switching!
Common, vBulletin (at least in Germany) has 60% market share!
Can you export vBulletin over to a phpBB format? That seems to be the best common thread to imort into bbPress from forum packages that don't have importers written yet. There is a great phpBB importer here in the forums that might be able to bridge the gap!
