You wanna convert your current phpBB forum to IPB?

if you wanna check out what I wanna do go <a href='http://www.imaginethefantasy.com/PHPSite/index.php' target='_blank'>HERE</a> for the forum I wanna change, than go <a href='http://www.imaginetehfantasy.com/forum' target='_blank'>HERE</a> for the one I want to change the first one to.  I have a PHP site using PHP-Nuke, which only comes with phpBB built in as a Module.  I can make my IBForum a module, but it will still run off my first SQLDatabase.  I need it to run off the database for the PHP-Nuke's members list thing.  ok this is how it kinda lays out

SQL1  -  IBForum
SQL2  -  PHP-Nuke with phpBB

yea, if you can do anything, I'll give u some space on my server thing...

that's going to be a little complex....considering PHP-Nuke used a modified phpBB for its forum, the members information wouldn't be as easily converted as a traditional filter.  Even then, i don't think IPS has a conversion filter to convert a phpBB database to IPB.

that's what I was thinkin.  I hate not being able to run them off the same SQL database.  Oh well, I'm dealin with it for now.  I'm still trying to figure out in the php code where it says what database to use.  than I gotta download the IBForums thingy from their site to install it over the SQL that is running my PHP-Nuke, so that the PHP-Nuke adapts to the IBForums database.  Well, if anyone has a better idea, please let me know.
