exporting data, importing to bbPress

Hi, I am new to Vanilla Forums and have been assigned a migration project. I am finding little and conflicting information in Google searches. Can someone please let me know the best way to export all forum data and import into bbPress? Thank you!

    That would be a question for bbPress forums.

    Why should anybody using Vanilla know how to migrate away from Vanilla? And, please forgive me that harsh tone, why should the Vanilla support forum care to help you building a bbpress forum?

    The forum data is held in the database referred to in conf/config.php.

    How to convert that to bb format is not a question for this forum.

    Thank you. So I just download that file and I can map the database? I was told Vanilla Porter works quite well. Have you used it?

    Vanilla Porter works very well, if you ever need to convert a forum TO Vanilla.

    It is not designed for a reverse procedure.

    You really are asking the wrong people the wrong questions.
