I currently have a phpbb3 forum through Create a Free Forum @ FreeForums.org's award winning Free Forum system and the forum has outgrown their service. The only way to change hosting is to go with their recomended company (this is one way they make money). They have a version of phpbb that is basically crippled... so I need some form of workaround.

I was thinking that I would scrape all the contents from my exiting forum, put them into a database, and then open the new forum and redirect the domain.

Has anyone here done something like this? What is the best tool to use? I found a page on a similar topic here: WWW::phpBB - phpBB forum scraper - search.cpan.org
but that does not seem like a full solution.

Thank you in advance for your help.
