Importing posts, threads from an old database

[alanmoore]

OK, we had a Mod go insane and delete 4,100 posts and threads that he made since Day One.

I have a saved database from before the action.

Question: Is there anyway of importing JUST his account information, posts, threads into the current database?

Anyone know?

Thanks in advance!

if it was a mod, then you may still have a chance because if you check admin cp - deleted threads + posts, then you may be able to restore them.

Depending if the mod "physically removed the posts + threads" then no.

Most likely the Prune function was used in the AdminCP which permanently removes all information. You maybe able to use Impex (available from the vBulletin Members area) however I don't know whether you have the option to ignore duplicate threads e.t.c.
