 * I’m quite surprised that you started off with platforms (vbulletin and invision)
   that are jointly less popular than phpbb. But I suppose one of the plugin developers
   had forums that used those platforms and I’m glad to be able to benefit from 
   your hard work.
 * You have mentioned in the plugin description that conversion for phpbb is coming*
   soon*, and I was wondering if you might be able to provide some updates on that.
 * Finally, am I correct in assuming that bbconverter
    i) imports topics and forum
   hierarchies into bbpress ii) including the relations between topics and forums
   iii) and slugs for topics and forums iv) generates an .htaccess to place in the
   old forum directory so that old URLs are 301 redirected to new ones. v) imports
   users including profiles, passwords, signatures and roles

 * I’m a bit confused.
 * I see that in changelog it says phpbb is now supported
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/changelog/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/changelog/)
 * In description it says ”We are working on phpBB”
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/)
 * On bbconverter home, phpBB is not listed [http://www.bbconverter.com](http://www.bbconverter.com)
 * So, what’s the deal?
