Hi,

I think this could be a solution that would make most of us happy.

1. Import the Beryl forum into a Section of a clean vBulletin forum.
2. Import the Compiz forum into a Section of the vBulletin forum.
3. Create a phpbb3 forum out of the vBulletin forum with the vB converter.
4. The new forum would have 2 readonly sections (Old Beryl forum / Old Compiz 
forum)
5. We can move a thread to a read write section of the new forum, if someone 
of us finds a thread that would be also usefull in the new forum or if we get 
a request to do it.

With this solution we could shutdown the old forums, because everything would 
be still accessible in the new forum. I know this means a lot of work, but it 
could work ;-)

PLEASE don't start the phpbb3 vs. vB discussion here. Let's concentrate here 
what to do with the content.

Dennis
