I'd be perfectly fine with just starting with a fresh install of vB, and archiving everything posted on the UBB servers. But many people wouldn't, so conversion will be a delicate matter to handle.

My knee jerk reaction to this was that this would be a bad for 2+2 from a business standpoint.

But would it be?

I reference old posts often, but not many do. The forum's real value comes from the size and speed of the community. As long as login information were propagated, would it really matter?

Well, it would be a horrible idea. It should never be done. I'm just saying that I personally wouldn't care, as long as everything was archived.
