Transfering User Names from One Forum to Another?

Question

Does anyone know how to transfer the users of a vBulletin forum to a new installation of IceBB?

Answer 1

Presumably, they both have a database back-end of some sort, right? SQL dump, followed by patching stuff up in your favorite scripting language, followed by SQL load, seems do-able.

Answer 2

There is a tool called ImpEx for vBulletin to do exactly this. It imports and exports users and data. Doing the SQL yourself can be error prone and difficult compared to using ImpEx.
