I currently have a phpbb forum, with 3500 plus members which is free. I'm going to turn it into a membership site. I'd like to convert my current members and have them pay a one-time fee, to be a lifetime member. After the offer, I'd like to close forum access to non-paying members. Is this a programming nightmare?
There two ways how users can be added to phpBB: 1. You can import users into amember. You will be able to import only login/email and generate new passwords because passwords are encrypted in phpBB then you will be able to email new info to all users 2. You can give a link to signup page fr your users and ask to signup, existing phpBB user will be able to signup with the same login/password/email as in forum.
