An acquaintance did basically this a few years ago on a vBulletin.

My memory says there was a project to be a vB->Discourse converter that didn't rely on DB access, but I can't immediately find it.

God, why? I can't be the only person to find Discourse inferior to vBulletin.

vBulletin is commercial software; Discourse is open source.

While I'd agree that Discourse isn't ideal, it's one of the better options available in the open source world.

I'd take myBB over Discourse.
