Can I Switch From PHPBB To VBulletin & Keep Forum Posts & Users?

Ive heard that VBulletin is a lot better, easier to use, better addons and is better to SEO, anyone have experience / advise in the area?

Yes, it is possible. I would search the vbulletin forum for more info, I think there's plugins/mods (ImpEx ) that can help you make the change.

I did it a few years back and much prefer VB although I haven't used the new PHPBB which still looks a good option.

Thanks for the help, Ill check there. I noticed that this board says powered by IP Board, is that other forum software/script? If so is it any good?
