I'm looking fior some really good, flexible forum software to replace phpBB, so hopefully, the software would have available a conversion script to convert the existing phpBB dB.

The software need not be free, but free is nice. The software needs to have a much better user interface than phpBB, since the forum as over 24,000 historical posts, 50 sections, including private sections, and typically 10 to 50 new posts each day.

Basically the main weakness of phpBB is the lack of a good way to obtain all the last so many days of posts without hunting around, and a lack of user choice regarding threading, etc.

An ability to use the forum by email like a mailing list instead of having to use the web for reading and posting would be nice, too.

Any recommendations?
