{quote format_guid="bbcode" comment_id="7577" user="Tinjaw"}Since the database tables are very similar, you should be able to do this without a lot of work, but it will take a lot of chugging away. First of all, [b:6f40814dc9]BACK UP YOUR DATABASE[/b:6f40814dc9]. Second, create a new database and [b:6f40814dc9]DO A RESTORE[/b:6f40814dc9] to make sure the backup is golden. Third, make a fresh pot of coffee. From there you need to do an install of bw and go through the setup of the phpBB forums. You should be able to pump the data from your old forums into the new forums. As for accounts in bw: create a few accounts in bw and look at the info in the bw tables and the phpBB tables. You will see the matches. Then via SQL either update or insert the data from the phpBB tables into the user tables of bw. I pretty sure there are no scripts already written, or that anybody had actually gone through the trouble to do it, but in theory it should work fine. I'd test it first and tweak your scripts on localhost first if you can. When they are tuned, you can then run them over the net.{/quote}
