ActiveForums 3.7 -> DNN Forums 4.4.3 Conversion? 

I made the mistake of using ActiveForum3.7 and I'm just generally displeased with it.  I've been using the new DNN Forums in a test environment since it was released and I have decided that I would like to migrate to it.  Does anyone know if there is anything out there to convert the data from AF 3.7 to DNN Forums 4.4.3?

Re: ActiveForums 3.7 -> DNN Forums 4.4.3 Conversion? 

I'm in the same situation.

I've tried writing an Access VBA Proc that loops through the NTForums_Posts table and then executes a modified version of the Stored Procedure that adds posts to DNN Forums, but it's taking ages to debug.

A stored procedure or Transact-SQL script that did it all would be nice...

If you're comfortable with T-SQL, Russ, I can give you 5 x scripts which will migrate your data.

They're substantially debugged, but there are no fixes in them for bad data integrity in ActiveForums.

Migration scripts would be possible but I am not aware of any that currently exist.

There have been ones to go from the DNN forums to Active Forums but I am not aware of any existing ones to reverse that process.

Why are you guys displeased with Activeforum? I like the software. I think it's the best forum software around. The DNN forum looks too bulky for my taste. Active forum can be modified in any way you want. Plus, the guys at Activeforum are helpful and patient in guiding you through your modification.

Just my 2 cents.
