Looking for phpBB to Discourse migration expert — 870K posts, Hebrew RTL

I need to migrate a large phpBB forum to a modern platform (preferably Discourse).

The forum:

  • ~870,000 posts

  • Hebrew-language community (right-to-left support is required)

  • Domain: otzar.org (significant SEO value — URL redirects are critical)

What I need:

  • Full migration of all posts, threads, categories, users, and attachments

  • Proper 301 redirects from old phpBB URLs to new Discourse URLs

  • RTL (right-to-left) Hebrew language support configured correctly

  • The forum should look and function properly after migration

Important:

  • We cannot afford significant downtime

  • All historical data must be preserved

  • SEO must be protected

Please share:

  • Examples of similar large-scale phpBB migrations you’ve done

  • Your approach to URL mapping and redirects

  • Estimated timeline and cost
