Questions coming from PhpBB

[lblanchardiii]

I currently host a PhpBB 3.2.7 forum with a chat box (mchat). It also features a forum where RSS feeds are automatically pulled from various sources and posted.

My questions are;
Can I easily migrate from PhpBB 3.2.7 to the latest Xenforo? Does Xenforo have a chat box similar to mchat and can I convert the current mchat posts over to it? Can I pull feeds from various web sites (so far I believe I am pulling around 30 feeds) and have them posted in a dedicated forum automatically?

Also, are there any Discord integrations with Xenforo?

Can I easily migrate from PhpBB 3.2.7 to the latest Xenforo?

It's easy if you're comfortable with stuff like installing xenForo.

You'll have to do a test import to see if everything works before doing the live site.

Does Xenforo have a chat box similar to mchat and can I convert the current mchat posts over to it?

I'm not familiar with that but I don't think it'll be worth the trouble of paying someone to build an importer for it.

Have a look at this and see if it checks all of the features you need:
