Okay, I've finished my first draft of the T-SQL script that takes all the relevant data for a thread and its posts from the database I created and exports a set of MySQL statements required to import that thread into the new boards.
I still need to test and probably debug it before I start moving things for real, but that means, people, if you're changing or have changed your user name on the new boards, tell me now both old and new names so I can make sure your old posts link to your new identity.
I ask this because I embarrassed myself in email over the weekend when in a fit of drowsiness I mistook one of our noble users for another in this very situation.
(Of course, if you've already discussed this with me, I've already made the changes for you, and you don't have to tell me a second time.)-- Bob

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
