Is there any way to restore threads that have been hard deleted? Our forum was attacked by a spammer. One of the Admins accidentally deleted about 100 threads instead of just the posts.

Hard deleted means they were removed from the database. So, As Crissic said, the only way to get them back is to restore a backup.

Yea, that's what I thought. Working with my webhost to rebuild my database. My database is too large to import via my php admin. Hopefully they can give me a workaround.

You should be able to restore it via shell access - Restoring The Database via SSH/Telnet
