[CsMain] Proposed website: SMF => Drupal forum support working

Hi,

I successfully imported a bunch of example users and posts from an SMF 
forum (the forum software used by the CrystalSpace Forums) to Drupal by 
first importing to phpBB with the SMF-to-phpBB converter [1] and then to 
Drupal with phpBB2Drupal [2]. I needed to change a few lines in the 
latter because it assumed the administrator user to have the user id 2 - 
which apparently wasn't the case when converting from SMF - but after 
that, everything went smoothly, though.

Here are some screenshots of the little example SMF forum I set up (now 
that I have some webspace from my university, I don't need to attach 
large amounts of images anymore!):

And here is the result of the import:

As not many fancy features are used in the current CrystalSpace forums 
(e.g. no avatars, attachments or signatures, as far as I can see), 
importing that should work just as well. (But you never know...)

Regards,
Denis
