SMF vs Vanilla any thoughts ?

So, you don't think I'd loose a ton of users if I made them re-register and kept the old forum read-only accessible?

umm depends on how your users are if they love ur content they will do ANYTHING
maybe if they make a import members addon then u could import members from ur other forum to this one that would be a cool one to have i dunno if it is possible

u should prabably try it for a while see how it goes nothing to lose cuz if u still have ur other forum u can go back to it if u saw it was not going well for u

Ask them mate, show them a few of the nice Vanilla forums out there and let them help to make the decision.

After all, if they "own" the move they will be happy and life will be good!

I'm looking to migrate from SMF, does anyone have a link to that transfer script that works? I think a lot of people here are looking for it too, so it would really be a good resource and would help convert more users to vanilla! Thanks.
