Hello,

I’m investigating migrating our Invision Power Board forum to Discourse, either hosted or one-time install. Is there a converter in place, or how would I go about this?

If you choose a business class hosting plan with us, and commit to one year, we can write the IPB converter for you and migrate your data: [http://discourse.org/buy](http://discourse.org/buy)

If you would prefer a self install, and self migration, it is likely you could use vanilla porter to convert to a format we have an existing importer for.

We can do a migration for you with or without hosting. Pricing depends on the amount of users and posts. PM me for details.

I don’t think I can PM yet. Our forum is at: [http://forum.beethinking.com/](http://forum.beethinking.com/)

Only 300ish members and around 750 posts. I’d like to move to Discourse and then begin promoting it as a place to utilize more heavily.
