Migrating vBulletin onto existing and live Discourse instance

Having done this myself I suggest to create a separate temporary Discourse instance for the purpose of converting the existing vBulletin content. Then you can:

  • export the bulk of the posts and users from the temporary Discourse
  • import the migrated content into the first Discourse in a category (e.g. Old forum)

You can follow this howto

for the details of the export import procedure.
