Hey guys,
I recently used a cool script I found on here somewhere to convert our phpbb2 forums' database over to bbpress.
Anyone know if it would be possible to convert this new database over to a wordpress DB? So all the forum posts become posts in a wordpress blog - under categories?
Sorry probably the wrong place to post this!

Uh...converting forum posts to wordpress posts sort of defeats the purpose of bbPress I think. Plus, if you have much of any posts it will eat up your database. Why exactly do you want to do this?
? so,,,,,,,,,,,, you want the first post to be the blog post itself, and all the replies to be comments?. it is doable, but why?
It sounds that playing with a cool DB migration tool would be woth your while.
This will be a big issue for quite a few people I think. In fact, there has been 2 occurances that I could have used an export function and frankly, the wordpress XML format would be my preference!

Hey guys!
sorry i didn't get back to your replies sooner. Thanks for the effort!
Yeah i am trying to work out whether to use bbpress or wordpress or both. But most importantly want to get away from phpBB2
I see both *press being powerful. I am not sure whether to offer both tools on our site, or just go with wordpress.
BBpress has allowed me to keep all our previous years content from phpBB2. But i am just not sure whether to use it or not.
Our members might get confused where to post entries and how to reply/comment.
I'd just go with bbpress but at the moment wordpress seems to have a lot of goodies like themes/pplugins that i am using.
Sorry i realised I am crapping on!
Any ideas/recommendations?
Hi Ateale,
Which script did you use cos the one i found to convert it did not work for me?
