You can, but you should upgrade your forum to 8.x first and then to 10.2.5.  I don't have an upgrade doc created for 5 to 10.2.5 yet...sorry.

How many messages / users do you have, and how much have you modified your theme?

Page 18 and 19 of this (http://www.blahdocs.com/old_docs.zip) doc should get you to 9.71B which you will have to download from the downloads page here on E-Blah.

After you get that far, getting to 10.2.5 is easy.  MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR FORUM BEFORE YOU DO THIS

If you follow the steps, you should have no problems.  However, if you want me to upgrade it for you, just PM me the web address, and ftp login information.  Also reference this post in the PM.
