I am the newest registered user of Vbulletin

My current forums are running on Invision Power Board 1.3
Before actually trying out the conversion, i went through all the posts on vbulletin.com and reading those posts i am afraid to do the conversion.
Users says that conversion Scripts from IPB 1.3 to Any version of VBB is not yet made.
I dont mind even converting to VBB 2.X .
I will convert to VBB 3.X later, once i have successfully converted to VBB 2.0X
