One thing about the import time. Unfortunately there is no way around the fact that at the number of posts you have it's going to take quite awhile. I did an import a couple of days ago that had about 700,000 posts and it took around 16 hours to import everything.
Going from classic takes quite some time because it has to read and parse every single flat file, so it can be slow going. It's a symptom of the whole flat file thing.
So that's the $100 answer to my question. Since I have 1.1 million posts, it could take 30+ hours. That answers my question about switching. I can't afford to be off-line for 30-hours. So I need to find another solution.
I'm stuck with UBB.Classic or need to find a way to migrate to software that won't have over a 6 or 7 hour down time to switch.
