MyBB Community Forums

Hello,
I am considering MyBB. I would like to migrate posts from an old style mailing list into a modern forum.

Is there a current way of doing this?

If not, I may write a Java application for this purpose. Is it practical then to access the MyBB database directly for the Java code in order to insert posts? I’d like to retain the original timestamps. I’d also need to create users, associated with the email addresses of the posters.

Regards,
Rupert

if you are comfortable in working with database (in general MySqli) with ease then converting
your mailing list should be possible. however not sure if someone had done it earlier ..
