Why the importer in vbulletin exclude the firstpost from the total_count?
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb#L433
Most likely because the first post is used to create the topic.
But then if I have ten topic/thread with attachment just in the first post, the total_count will be zero, even though I have ten attachments. right?

Ok.
While we at it, this line cause errors:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb#L247
I had to modified it just like the vb5 importer:
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/vbulletin5.rb#L272
What was the error? Did it try creating an already existing index?
Yes I did. I get the error after the second run.

Probably want to handle that better rather than just catching the exception
