How would I go about transferring the content from a PHPBB forum to a Fireboard forum if they are on seperate hosts? Ive got the conversion script already, but it needs both boards to be at the same place. So how to i transfer the PHPbb forum from one host to another?

Hard to tell without looking at the script, but you probably just need to change the host value you are using to connect to phpbb mysql server and fireboard mysql server to appropriate values.

BubbaBob,
In order to transfer the PHPbb forum to the other host, you need to do two things. 1) Back up all the files on the server onto your computer
2) Back up the database file onto your server (by logging into phpmyadmin then going to Export > Save as File)

Once you do this, then you need to reupload the phpbb files you backed up onto the new host. Then create a new, empty database on the new server and then go to phpmyadmin Import > select the database file you backed up (#2) above. Then you will need to go into the configuration file for phpbb and change the database connection information to the new database.
