@Jake: The page nodes themselves are unfortunately too limited for what we would be using them for. The site is a collection of tools we made, as well as a place to share creations from said tools so that people can vote, download, comment, etc. Because of that, the page nodes probably aren't...

I guess what I'm really wondering is if it is possible to edit the skin and utilize site-wide permissions and calls to the alert system in particular to make it look like our current site at http://wow-v.com. We heavily edited SMF to get to this point, but a lot of that was ripping out forum...

So from what I've gathered I need to run UPDATE xf_user_privacy SET allow_send_personal_conversation = 'everyone', allow_post_profile = 'everyone', allow_view_identities = 'everyone' after I do my VB->XF conversion step to make sure that preference isn't all screwy due to the SMF->VB process...

Not to mention the constant barrage of issues with people not receiving the email and therefore adding to the heaps of inactive...

Oddly enough, we only have about 200k posts. We use SMF as our membership system, and the vast majority of people sign up to use the tools and whatnot we supply on the rest of the site, not for the forums. Part of the reason I want to go to XF is to encourage more forum activity. So really what...

I've been considering that. Been weighing the pros and cons, but I at least plan to run some scripts to get general numbers on people that are totally inactive (and never have been, even on the rest of the site). I can then tweak that to ignore mundane stuff that really shouldn't be considered...

Ah, fantastic! I'll see if he'll update or install fresh so we can test (not sure what version his is at right now). Thanks for the speedy reply!

I run a large web community site (300k+ registered members) that has SMF 1.x fully integrated into it, found out about XF the other day, and fell in love. However, I'm concerned about the conversion. I know there isn't a converter for SMF, but I have vBulletin and Impex from a project I did...
