Is there any easy way to restore the whole BB back to defaults?
 

I posted this on vbulletin.com as well but figured you folks here might've done something like this..

Ok, here's a question. I have installed over 80 hacks on my board currently, and thus upgrading to anything is quite a painstaking process. Add to that the fact that my SQL backup doesn't restore properly unless I make some manual edits to it, here's my question.

Is there an easy way (ie. some script to run) that I can completely restore the board to default settings without any additional tables/columns, etc? What I'm imagining is something like the install script, where it attemps to create tables and such unless they're already there, but would also remove anything not specifically added in via the script as well.

Hopefully that makes some sense, and also I hope something like this already exists out there, as I'm sure it would come in handy to some and would definitely save me a great amount of time. Thanks!

No one? :(

You would probably need some kind of install script that would compare the mysql queries of the vb install file to existing ones. It can be done, but I think it would require a good amount of time to complete such a project and since vb is always changing and there's always new hacks it would make the project ongoing.
