Do you think it would be useful to dump the entire contents of the Yahoo Group and the vassalengine-devel list into phpBB? I can get both as mbox files for you. It might be possible to import them all by temporarily disconnecting the outgoing mail and dumping them in through the incoming mail interface.
Ben, I’d like to direct you to the discussion I had with one of the M2F developers about connecting different forums to different lists:
Thanks Joel.
At this point I doubt we’re going to need the extra functionality; Only 5 people have joined the list since it went public and I’m guessing a couple of those are probably developers anyway.
Thus spake “bsmith”:
I’m rather concerned that we have 1566 members in the Yahoo group, but
only 63 here. (And also that we are still getting new subscriptions to
the Yahoo group—there’s no indication there that they should come
here instead.)

Ben, Tim Franklin is having trouble registering for the forum. (Probably
you’ll be getting an email from him.) What this caused me to notice is
that there is no obvious way for people who are having difficulty
registering to contact the forum admin—they can’t send you an email
since no admin address is given, and if they could post to the forum that
they’re having a problem then they wouldn’t need to.
I’ve just woken up and noticed 7 new users; I have to manually authorise each one due to some issues with spamming. Tim may have been one of those accounts Joel. It must be the day after New Year’s day in the US, I guess everyone is back at work and bored already 
I’m loath to put a public e-mail address up due to spam issues.
Thus spake “bsmith”:
But how will anyone ever know if people are having trouble registering,
in that case? The only reason I was able to help Tim is that I happen
to know that you’re the admin and have your email address.
If you don’t want to display your email address, then put mine. Mine is
surely on every spam list there is already.
