Preserving links after converting from phpBB (and others)

When converting an existing forum that has threads linked from all over the internet the links will be broken. Looking at phpBB, the viewtopic.php some what corresponds to showthread.php in myBB. If the forum threads/topics retained their ID numbers after conversion you could provide a viewtopic.php that maps existing phpBB links to myBB threads. And voila - all the links out there are still working! If it's impossible to make the threads retain the same ID numbers from phpBB it should be fairly easy to create a table that maps old phpBB ID's to their new myBB ID's. Edit: Actually it is really easy to achive with mapping. All it takes is 3 lines of code =)
