    I do...
    It's been... a "challenge" to say the least.

    It's not necessarily that it was the migration to AF, but I started with the DNN Core Forums.

    There was a lot of work on the data side to format the content of PHPBB and data to DNN Core.

    I dealt with 500 users and 30k+ posts
    I would not recommend it.

    The tools I used were...
    - Bulk User Manager (to migrate the users),
    - I had to manually edit (using mass find and replace) the mySQL dumps that were provided to me because the syntax was wrong for T-SQL,
    - a series of update scripts to match up the database columns
    - a series of insert scripts to build the new relationships

    After which... yes, following the DNN to AFImport worked well.
    However, I do not, and would not recommend the process to anyone that is not very comfortable with SQL and/or below that of a mid-level developer, because even I still have bugs I'm trying to resolve

    I'm facing this possibility as well. So far, it looks like a manual conversion of the database and a migration of user accounts. Painful.
