Has anyone worked on a WebBBS 2.25 converter to FUDforum?

I have a 9000+ posts forum and would like to move the posts into FF.

WebBBS 2.25 doesn't use a database. All posts are stored in plaintext in a directory. It doesn't have user registration (one reason I want to switch to FF) and only has a threaded view.

Side issue (which I should probably post in a different thread):
In WebBBS, it 'archives' older posts my moving them to a 'read-only' seperate 'instance' of WebBBS. So old posts are never really gone, just archived.

From the FUDforum documentation, it sounds like the pruning operation actually deletes messages. Please consider an 'archive' option. Thanks.
