Mods can move this as needed.....
But I'd like to put a request in for such a converter. EE has tens of thousands of users of their CMS software and many are looking for an upgraded forum. The company which produces EE has had their hands full with a version upgrade on the main app...for a couple years...and has largely ignored the basic forum.
Recent conversations appear to point to that they have no intention to place a lot of resources into their discussion module.
I know the impex has an EE importer, but I had one expert try to use it and it didn't work to any satisfactory degree.
The EE forum is quite simple - not a lot of crazy features that would be hard to import, etc....so I'm hoping this can go on a list somewhere and perhaps be a reality someday.
BTW, not only do they have tens of thousands of users, but the CMS continues to sell well (better and better), so the market is definitely there. It's by no means a "dead" platform, just one which is being concentrated on the more CMS end of things.
FYI, most users are still using the old 1.X branch, which is the one which would best suit an importer.
