How do we merge two phpbb forums

[Nomad]

I need to merge two phpbb forums but I cannot do it. I checked phpbb support forums and the guys there said I need to use a script and there were no addons/plugins that allowed merge. The probem with me is I can manage phpbb forum front end but not backend. Is there an easy way to merge two phpbb forums? In case, I want to merge phpbb with Xenforo, is it possible, how do I do it?

I believe XF has a a phpBB importer. I'm not sure if it will work with merges of multiple phpBB forums or not. I know that for the longest it could not even do that with XenForo forums, but they did resolve that issue.

Do we have similar thing for phpbb. I mean is there "importer add on for phpbb"Can we merge two phpbb forums with addons.

I am not aware of any add-on or importer that will do that.
I know you can do a lot of database playing and get around it.

But reading over on the phpBB site, I did find this thread that appears to have a script that works?

phpBB • Merging two phpBB3.2 forums

I want to highlight this comment made in that thread.

It is not a script meant for beginners!

A whacky idea that might not've been thought of yet...

Import the two phpBB forums into XF 1.1.

Import the XF 1.1 into phpBB:
