Dear All, Well, first of all, a BIG SHOUT OUT OF THANK YOU to Discourse. Discourse is a work of art and very impressive. After over a decade with vBulletin, we could not find any forum software to port to (it was all just ‘same ole, same ole’.. blah blah), until Discourse. THANK YOU Currently, I am in test bed mode, importing from vB 3.8.X to the latest version of Discourse in a docker container, both firsts for me. In fact, before this week, I never thought I would write a single line of Ruby but Discourse is so good, it’s worth it. The import script vbulletin.rb is chugging along now for a day or so; and for the most part, it is working fine. In fact, it is extremely impressive. A few times it tossed an error, but when I restarted the script, the error went away. I did find a bug in importing children categories. (that will not go away on restart) and here it is: Traceback (most recent call last): 5: from script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb:942:in ` ' 4: from /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:47:in `perform' 3: from script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb:84:in `execute' 2: from script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb:287:in `import_categories' 1: from script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb:287:in `each' script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb:289:in `block in import_categories': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) root@localhost-app:/var/www/discourse# su discourse -c 'bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb' My plan to address this is lame. I was going to redump the vB database and make all child forums parents and then do the entire migration again; but then I thought maybe I should be more social and post his as a bug report. Any suggestions on a better way to fix this other than my lame noob idea above? If not, I plan to just dump again, make adjustments in the DB manually, and migrate again, which I am sure is a lame noob way to get this fixed. Thanks!

I think it is clear that you are gonna do whatever you are gonna do. No one can stop you. Be our guest!
