• I've imported a reasonably big SMF forum into a Drupal forum by hand before, unless you've got a load of extra plugins installed, the Schema isn't that complicated.

    I did Vanilla to vBulletin by hand for LFGSS.

    Well, I wrote the script for it. It all went pretty smoothly except for the private messages, as Vanilla stores these in the same table as the public messages with just some vague logic around the fields to present them differently.

    Moving 90% of the content (threads and posts) is generally easy. It's that last 10% that is the PITA. Though I am unlikely to every import stuff that 3rd party hacks introduced... meaning that we'll only really import 98% of data from a customised forum.
