XF 1.4 Import users for Manual Upgrade?

[rwm1962]

I've another forum to migrate to XF in a few months time. It was approx 300 upgraded members in a subscribers user group.

I appreciate I'm going to have to set up a new group & paypal ipn link etc on the XF forum. The plan is to manually upgrade the users concerned with their upgrade expiry dates & for them to resubscribe at that time.

Is it possible to import that data into the db via a csv file or some other method?

It would be possible with a custom script.

I've no idea what that would involve. For a one off import of 300 members from a dead platform with maybe only 1 or 2 admins ever needing the script again, do you think it would be viable to commission or would I be better of just cracking on with inputting manually.

Not something that could be imported directly into the db via phpmyadmin?
