Hello Discourse Community,
If you’re looking to migrate your forum from **Invision/IPBoard v4** to **Discourse** , I’ve developed a migration script that can help make the process smoother. The script is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/jahan-ggn/Invision-V4-Migration/blob/main/ipboard4.rb).
For a more detailed guide on using the script, refer to the [Migration Guide here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/use-an-import-script-that-requires-mysql/63349).
If you encounter any issues or need additional support, don’t hesitate to reach out on **Discourse Meta** or consult the **GitHub page** for further guidance.
### **Important Notes:**
This script is designed to help you migrate your data without losing important content. However, **always test the migration in a staging environment first** and ensure you **back up all data** before proceeding.
Happy migrating, and welcome to the world of Discourse!

That’s great. Do you intend to do a PR on the official Discourse repo?
