It worked last time I tried, but I haven’t worked with BuddyPress for quite some time now.
You may have to edit some of the tables (prefix), but apart from that it should work out of the box.
Yeah, I think so, I’m currently copying the function and modifying it to match Drupal 6 with the bueditor module. I think it should work more or less out of the box in my case. 🙂
Regarding the avatars I think I only need to write a function that copies them over to /wp-content/uploads/avatars/<user_id>/. Copied over avatar-bpfull.jpg and avatar-bpthumb.jpg and BuddyPress seems to use it immediately.
Some tables have changed quite a lot… the forum_index table didn’t exist in Drupal 6.x just to name one. The most important for me currently is to fix two things:
* Avatars: I use buddypress which comes with some kind of avatar support. For now I’m trying to figure out how these are stored and how I can import them as well.
* HTMl callback: I see the Drupal 7 import has a html callback, but it’s not defined as a function in the file. I’m trying to figure out how to add a custom filter without loosing the other magic.
New version is on git. Need to figure out how to support avatars properly. They are now imported, but I have to settle on a avatar plugin and have the data moved over to WP somehow. HTML parser also needs a little work as some images/HTML is broken after import.
Everything worked great. I just need to add avatar support and verify some posts to see that I don’t need to do some more cleanup.
Not yet, it’s still importing… I think I got all bugs sorted out (not commited to git yet).
Forum is quite huge so I guess it will take a while… 🙂
Users and Forum import is working!
The only part I would need help with is the “Topic Section”. 🙂
It’s been a while but looks like nobody has done anything yet, so it’s time to start…
I’ve created a repository for this issue: https://github.com/NeoID/bbpress-converters-drupal6
All tables have been updated to work with Drupal 6/Advanced forum 6.x, but for some reason it’s stuck on “Starting Conversion…”. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Found this. Might be useful:

Since advanced forum is based on the drupal core forum there might not be too much we need to change i order to support it. I’ll try to take a look at this later today.
I’m still looking into this, but haven’t had the time to start coding on it. The main reason for that may be that I’m still not sure whether BuddyPress/bbpress is a good choice or not. I really don’t like WordPress for some reasons, but in some ways it’s a nice starting point when it comes to building a more social community…
Anyway, would love to participate on this as I might end up using this in the near future. I’ll also look into supporting Pollfield as I’m using polls quite often on the forum.
