Specialist Import Services by Slavik
As one of the first big boards to migrate to XenForo, and well over 1 BILLION posts imported since, my own expertise has come invaluable for helping others do the same, I have converted and imported more boards and data into XenForo than any other person or company which include my own custom developed tools and procedures designed to make the migration process as smooth and seamless as possible. My experience means from start to finish I will work with you to ensure everything goes as planed with as little hassle as possible.
Whilst the majority of my work involves converting big boards from vBulletin to XenForo 2 , I cover nearly all circumstances such as:- Regular Board (<1M posts) Imports.
- Specialist Big Board (1M post+) Imports
- 2 Step Imports for not directly importable software
- Custom data imports (Migrating addon data from the old software to a XenForo equivalent or replacement)
- Test imports
- Off-site imports
- Server Management
- Data Backup
- Data Recovery
- MySQL Recovery

Pricing starts from as little as $150 for vanilla imports of boards under 1 million posts. Big board imports start at $150 set + $30 per million posts and custom or specialist imports are priced on requirement and complexity.
Time wise, this depends on several factors including forum and user base size, any specialist or technical challenges, and the urgency of the transfer. Most boards opt to run a test import first and once verified that everything appears correct, run the live import several days later. Regular boards usually take less than an hour regardless of any specialist requirements, Big Boards are usually done within several hours.How to start?

New service - Incremental Imports - Reduce your downtime to seconds!
Available nowhere else, I can offer a new incremental import system for vBulletin 3 and 4. While using the Big Board Importer can take an import of days down to hours, there is still an unavoidable downtime created by the actual time of importing the tables and re-applying any custom changes.
By using my custom scripts, we first do a full import, and then can import the changes and new content made to the following import areas:
