Username / password import from vbulletin?

OK i know this is a touchy subject! let me firstly explain what i would like to be able to achieve.

I'm involved in running a site which has a fairly large vbulletin forum and a separate portal website based on a custom CMS where users can upload news and articles and stuff. Currently the custom CMS is proving to be a nightmare as the guy that developed in has left the project and has not written any help files for his CMS system making it hard to adapt and somewhat of a dead duck. I would like to move the portal over to drupal (for obvious reasons - ie drupal is great!)

now the trouble for me comes because i would like to be able to have our current forum users use their existing vbulletin login to access the drupal site - I'm not too concerned about new users having to sign up twice to get a login for each site, but i would like our existing forum users not to have to sign up for a new account for the drupal site (more specifically i don't want people to be able to steal each others usernames). As there are over 10,000 users on the forums it would be better to be able to do an automate dump of usernames and password into drupal than have to do them manually :)

we do not want to convert our vbulletin forum to drupal - it works ok on its own and we don't need it to be tightly integrated with drupal (drupal's RSS features are more than adiquate for my needs in this respect - i can easily do latest forum topics and stuff like that with rss)

menu outside of drupal

I have a few scripts that I have linked to drupal and I really need to have the same navigation menu.

Has anyone done this before or have any tips that may save me some time?

How to seperate items on front page?

I've been setting up my site for awhile now and think I've got most issues. I kind of have figured out the crazy .htaccess file and am posting content.

I am noticing, however, that my stories, blogs, and images are all mixed up on the front page.

How do I seperate them so they are in groups - the last five blog entries, then the last story, then the last image?

Can I do this?
