Conversions are EASY wether you have 1 user or 50000000000000000000 users

Thanks joeroberts - you are so right. One user through PM actually told me when I asked his price: "it also depends on the number of users..."...
Like I said: I'm pretty technical and if i had time and did not care about the possibility of breaking things, I would do it myself.

Thanks for the suggestion DAKz. If you read my top post more carefully you will understand. If you are referring to the original owner, I don't know.
That's one of the things I try to find out. And as one user suggested it may be that the code has been "patched" and "secured" (i doubt it!) so why change it?
Like I said: I'm trying to familiarize myself with the whole "scene" and understand so that I can take better decisions. The site is not dead. There are users who have torrents and accounts and history. If I screw up they will loose all that!!!
What I still have difficulties understanding are the following:
1. What are the most popular trackers and what is their interconnection?
I still haven't found a tutorial or extended post explaining the differences etc.
Advantages/Disadvantages may be more subjective (stability, active community, security, etc.), but the actual characteristics are subjective.
And what are the 'related" ones that is easier to migrate to?
For example I know that U-232 is based on TBDev code so probably easier to migrate. But what about xBTiT for example???
etc.
2. I accidentally (!!) discovered that i was wrong and actually have TSSE v3.1 and not TBDev. I noticed that somehow (common user table in DB?) the forum is myBB and the front-end login gets carried over. Can i install SMF for example without too much hassle? Can i update the myBB version without problems?
Your thoughts would be appreciated ....
