 * Asking to myself right now … is this a joke?! 🙂

   Honestly, i do not know too much bbpress, but should be (really) a joke in case,
   to adapt the WP_w3all phpBB to WordPress users transfer also for this scope.
 * The answer is no, **but you can transfer from phpBB to WP**, because you have
   the **phpBB to WP users transfer** available.
    **So asking to myself the follow:**
   if i want to start with bbpress, on my WordPress, there is not any importer between
   bbpress and WP? Should be.
 * **If yes, then you just need:**
 * Setup Path and Url into WP_w3all config, activating the plugin, check that same
   installing user need to exist in phpBB, **with same username and email** before
   to activate the plugin doing this step: if logged out after activation, re-login
   using phpBB pass.
 * Activate the WP_w3all transfer option on WP_w3all config page, so you’ll have
   to choose:
    _WP-admin menu -> Settings -> phpBB w3all transfer_ Transfer all 
   phpBB users into WordPress, then may disable or uninstall the plugin. Note: at
   this time, the installing user will have (may) to change/reset his password, 
   because the WP_w3all plugin will not check like phpBB anymore the hashed stored
   pass. Note also that all transferred users are transferred with their phpBB hashed
   pass: so another time, these users may have to reset their pass to correctly 
   login WP side (or you may add some code to recognize the phpBB hash, like WP_w3all
   do.
 * Really there is not an option in WordPress bbpress, to transfer users between,
   when a new bbpress is installed into WordPress?
