Migration from vbulletin possible?

P Offline

Hello! I was wondering, I have an old vbulletin forum running on vbulletin 4.3.2. It is now locked and only kept as an archive. Would it be possible to migrate it to nodebb and resurrect it? I did a search but relevant topics were several years old.
I am especially wondering what happens with the federation feature in nodebb4 (if it's possible). The old forum has 30.000 threads and over 1.300.000 posts. Will these federate? Or only new topics? Thanks!

@panos all threads will federate based on the category's privileges.

Can you reach out to us at [email protected]? Migration is a tricky beast and unfortunately there isn't a free script we can provide to do it

Thank you! I might do it in the future, as it was just an idea at this point. Our community is already running a fediverse server (Firefish) and a threaded chat (Zulip). Just wanted to see if resurrecting our old forum might be an option with NodeBB
