Yes...

You can delete or overwrite all of your vb files with unmodified originals and it will have no effect on your users posts counts, rep, etc. All of that information is stored in the database.

Obviously when you do this, any FX your users have gained through those now, overwritten hacks, will be lost until you re-apply the hacks.

Obviously, before you do anything with your vb, you should back your database up, even if what you are doing is bengin and poses no thread to it. Because it is always better to be safe then sorry.

You can use your phpadmin to do the backup or you can do it directly from mysql's export. a cp backup is probably best though, but its whatever you are comfortable with.
