MyBB Community Forums

I want to add over a hundred forums to a just new MyBB 1.8 installation.  (They can all have identical permissions.)  Do I have to create each as a new forum, one by one, from the control panel?  Or is there any other way, like a command line interface to create new forums where I can just give it a list of names of each new forum?  Any help much appreciated!

(BTW, first time MyBB user possibly migrating from phpBB.  Liking it so far!)

Well, you have inheritance, but I think that's a bad idea....
You could use the db I guess (no support from me if something goes wrong)
