Hello all, basically I've got a growing forum, over 10,000 members. The problem I'm having is I've modified it to death over the past 12 to 18 months and it's not running smoothly.
What I need is a second chance, so I can carefully remodify my forum with the essential plugins I need, eliminating invalid tables and files on my Database and FTP .
Basically I wan't to restore my VBulletin 4 forum as if it had never been modified, back when I used VB3 I would have just imported the users, forums, threads, posts and attachments into a new database using Impex, but seen as there is no version of Impex that supports VB4, I'm wondering if theirs another way around this?
I also have a larger VB4 forum that I have acquired that I need to merge into my existing forum.
I've explored the SQL options, but I'm afraid to say SQL is at this moment in time is beyond me (After many hours of reading and searching Google), so I was hoping somebody who is more in the know, would have a solution or alternative to my problem.
The original thread I posted in over at VB.com is here.

And if you would also like to see a version of Impex that supports VB4 to VB4 imports you can vote on Jira here.

The vote option is in the panel on the left of your screen.
Hopefully somebody can help as I've invested quite a bit of money into this venture.
