From VB to XenForo -> Keep original URLs?

[Murtada Shah]

Hi,

We don't want to redirect our thousands of URLs, because google may hit us still with so many 301 redirects.

Can we somehow keep all our original URLs? This would include the forum / topic numbers in the URLs.

The URL structure is different so that wouldn't be possible.

Many people have imported from VB and successfully used the redirection scripts.
Over time, the old indexed links are replaced with the new ones.
