Wouldn't it be nice!
Several people in the past have said they will try and out together a converter but we never heard from any of them again.

I try to do something but i fail because I dont have enough MySQL knowledge.
However, I put my eye in to the both databases (phpBB and SPF) and I notice that SPF DB is smalller then phpBB. Also, allmost all atributes that are in SPF DB can be found in phpBB DB. Atributes and table names are not the same, but I am taking about same data tip.
So, the point is that if there is some crazy frick that would like to made phpBB to SPF MySQL DB Convertor, that would be great for all? 
most heartily agree! we had written three of four importers but they were for other wp forum plugins and are now out of date… the biggest issue with phpbb or other 3rd party forum apps is going to be the user db, but certainly doable…
just for us, as a two man dev team, we dont have time to undertake…
we keep hoping, like you, that a resourceful community member will take this on…

Hi all
I am currently working on an importer for phpBB. Its about 90% done and imports
users
forums
usergroups
permissions (of sorts)
threads
posts
smilies
BBCode
The importer is very much aimed at importing my phpbb forum into SPF but I am more than happy for the SPF devs to have the code
I have also written a small plugin to go along with it that solves the problem of salted passwords. The plugin will allow you to login to WP using the phpBB password

wow this sounds real promising. Shout if you hit any brick walls. And when you have the main data in place run the two index rebuild functions:
sf_build_forum_index($forum_id); sf_build_post_index($topic_id, $topic_slug);
looping through each forum and then each topic. This will make sure that the denormalised indices are built.
exciting stuff.
So – where abouts in Cambridgeshire may I ask?
