Hi,

My name is Donny, and I am the owner of a large vBulletin forum, http://www.battleforums.com. One of my administrators went rouge and deleted quite a bit of posts from the forum. I have an old backup from 9 days ago, and I would like to have that restored to take the posts from the forum that was deleted, and merge it with the current live site. Could you help? I would be happy to pay whatever is required

. I'm lost and have no idea what to do at this point.

If interested, could you please add me on msn at kinkarso@gmail.com or give me a call at 6042202979 .

Thank you,
Donny

That is an almost impossible task.

I suggest you either accept the loss of these posts or just restore the backup.

How about this:
On your new site; delete all threads that are created in the last 9 days.
Then import the backup as if you would be importing another board.

maybe Jerry can say something about this idea?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
