Hi everyone,
We are preparing to upgrade a client with Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5. They are using phpBB3 and it is really cumbersome so we are looking for your recommendations for a good Joomla forum extension that can handle a very active forum. I see Agora Pro, Kunena, and Ninjaboard in the JED but really not sure if they will work for the long-haul and with RT/Gantry. I would really like your opinions, suggestions, and recommendations. Also it would be great if there is a way to migrate the current phpBB3 data over into Joomla for the new forum. - Best wishes,
Rae

My only choice would be Kunena
Forget about NinjaForge because it doesn't have J2.5 stable version and it will never have since development of it stopped. Agora forum is really not so good as Kunena

- Thanks, Igor. I really appreciate your recommendation and comments. I'm a bit surprised that there are not more forums for Joomla. I'll definitely check out the Kunena Importer.
- Best wishes,
Rae
