Hi fellas. I have this forum running vBulletin 4, that I am tasked to take over and run for the forseeable future. Not a big forum by any means (7000+ topics, 155k posts, ~1500 users, though not many are active), but it's a "home forum" for many and all, including me, wants it to stay.

Now it was attacked a few weeks ago with malware, so Google is now giving the warning for an unsafe site. The guy running it up until today has lost interest in the forum for a long time, and this kind of broke the camels back, hence why I am taking over. Now, I've never run a vBulletin forum, and I'm sure its nice and awesome, but Im very comfortable with phpBB and have a theme I want to use ready to go.

Problem is, I need to keep all users, topics and the like, so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me convert it to the latest version of phpBB? I can even pay the person helping me if that's what they want.

i've done it last year, but it required (for me) some hand work to.
use https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=13252438#p13252438 for start and see how is going maybe it works out of the box for you. just keep a copy of db in a safe place.
