I’m trying to import phpbb forum to discourse. I followed instructions [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-from-phpbb3/30810) running development version on mac and stable branch. No users were imported (without any warnings or errors on import users step).

It’s probably a regression introduced by  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/821124f3fde6a6c0737dd2d686f8b91027514105](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/821124f3fde6a6c0737dd2d686f8b91027514105)

I’ll look at it tomorrow unless @riking beats me to it.

I reverted the commit and it looks better at the moment.

I wasn’t sure about how the phpbb3 importer architecture worked, so it’s pretty likely that I messed up there.
