Import other forum conversations onto Tech Overflow?

Has anyone had experience importing data from another forum into tech overflow? Is there a specific format and process?

Thank you.

TechOverflow is a Question/Answer community.

So, we would not want to import any forum conversations into TechOverflow. However, I think TheHub is a good place to put forum conversations. Then, if there were a question on TechOverflow that could benefit from information in a forum conversation on TheHub, then an answer on TechOverflow should be submitted with a hyperlink to the information on TheHub.

Also, I'm not aware of any options to import content into TechOverflow.

We use the "forum" for technical Q & A to discover the best practices to APP creations for the TREP APIs. This approach appears to be similar to Techoverflow. I was wondering if Techoverflow had the capability of importing this data rich content and the formatting requirements need to facilitate this co-mingling of data.

We've considered TheHub as a solution, however, would like to have all the data in one location.

Would there be any other alternatives?
