 * Dear folks,
 * We’d like to make “modern” WordPress posts out of our old posts (articles) that
   were running on phpbb.
 * But so far we just found info and plugins on how to transfer phpbb posts to bbforum
   in WordPress.
 * So for example we’d like to convert an article like this [http://www.diedenker.org/inhalte/viewtopic.php?t=1383](http://www.diedenker.org/inhalte/viewtopic.php?t=1383)(
   running on phpbb, think it was version 2) into a wordpress article like this 
   [http://www.diedenker.org/inhalte/manifest-fuer-ein-gutes-leben/](http://www.diedenker.org/inhalte/manifest-fuer-ein-gutes-leben/)
 * So the phpbb post title should get a wordpress title, the post image (which will
   mostly be included from an external source) should be included (via external 
   image tag) into the new wordpress article, the date of the phpbb article should
   get the date of the wordpress article, etc.
 * If you know a solution for this (for example by exporting the old phpbb table
   and convert it, or by parsing, or the like), or if you want to offer a paid one,
   please tell us!
 * Looking forward to your answers!
