I used a conversion script to convert.  It was half successful.  While it did import users and posts, it did not import any category or tags, requiring a lot of rework.  The real problem with the script is that roughly 1/3 of the posts got truncated.  This required a manual check of every post, which took far longer than I would have liked.

Overall, I’m not sure how much time the conversion script really saved me, because copying all of the posts manually might have been easier becaus e it would not have required all of the rework and double-checking.

The site uses WordPress, which I am strongly debating moving this site to. While I don’t have any significant issues with b2evolution, I really like the ease of use that WordPress offers.

I don’t have any specific issue with Drupal, however I wanted to try something new.
