Whispers depend. If we go through an actual conversion path, we're pretty much expecting them. Maj's friend is in the process of writing a whisper code for phpBB. Our expectation is that whispers would survive the conversion from BbSuckAss v1.4 (what this is) to v2 and then to vB. Perhaps that's a bad assumption.
If we go with what's being discussed here, whispers may be lost. That's probably OK. I wonder, though, if whispers would convert if a mod/admin ran the program to "extract" the data.

I'm pretty sure they would... However, they would be pulled out with the text of the post itself, so it'd require some post-processing to make them invisible to the general population.

I'd think whispers would survive the first step of the conversion (BBboy 1.4 to BBboy 2), assuming that BBboy kept whisper functionality in the newer version. The second step would be the tricky part.
Then again, I have to give the obligatory "I am not a programmer" disclaimer.

I know they don't, between integer level changes in phpBB.
Normally, they're not kept because they're a security issue and the administration doesn't care.

I just finished version 0.1 of the script to convert Aycarus' spider data to PHPBB version 3.
So far you have to do a little manual configuration, run the script and then you have
- users (sans passwords)
- all posts (with who posted what, when)
- from the little I was able to test all posted images and links still work
So there is still a lot missing. Any suggestions as to what we still need?

Yeargh... That one's difficult, since a spider can't retrieve who actually made the votes. So in order to prevent double-voting, all the polls would have to be closed on conversion. Is that okay?

I can't think of a problem with that...

Finally got a chance to look at the poll data problem (damn radiative transfer assignment).
I just noticed that poll data on a closed poll appears inline with the text of a post, so it should be carried over with no further modification. Is there something else specific you wanted here?
