i've found the link and was just on my over to post it here :)
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=34227&start=0
ironically, it's the forums I was thinking of leaving out.
reviews and articles are the real beast.
if this handles moving members over though that would would be great - although script is for a phpbb conversion not a nuked phpbb conversion which has several other layers.
certainly is a good start though.
