phpBB has a feature to select all the threads you wish to move and move them all at once. In fact, I believe there is even a "select all" button so you can just deselect the ones you don't want to move, which would be less than those you do.

And I just used phpBB as an example. You could always have installed a new forum at a later date, you know. There are conVersion tools that can convert various forum database types to be useable in phpBB (most forum scripts have such tools).

The problem is phpBB is a resource hog compared to UBB. I know I have administered both.

Plus it has security holes that are continously being patched, which require upgrades.

Our UBB has so many custom hacks that it would never convert over clean, plus I would then have to add many of those features into the new board.

In any case it is more work than it is worth.
