I'm trying to move from my current board Agora (http://www.w-agora.net) to phpBB. I don't just want to abandon my old forum and install a new one. I would want to convert it. Anybody else using Agora ?

Is the UCS available for download anywhere else? I did a search and couldn't find it, and that link gives me an empty zip file

EDIT: Nevermind. I put on my thinking cap and found it. I feel like an ass now.

can you convert a non-phpbb forum to phpbb and merge it with an existing one ? or does the convertion have to be a clean one ? from non-phpbb to a new copy of phpbb ?

Is the UCS still working? Ashe seems to have left and the files are 2 years old.

I'm trying to convert an old forum based on some custom coded crap and thought that the UCS would be ideal since i don't know all that much about php and SQL but I'm not shure if this would work for the latest version of phpbb. Can somebody help?
