Restore threads using 'post' table

[kaotic]

I'm stuck in an odd situation. I had 2 backups of the forums. Somehow, my earliest backup wasn't completed. I was able to update all of the MySQL tables up to the search index table, meaning I was missing important tables like 'user' and 'thread.' I was, however, able to restore an early backup of the 'post' table. For now, I'm using the old table backups. Now I need a hack or modification of some sort that will rebuild threads table using information from the 'post' table. I believe there is something floating around that will restore the 'user' table using information from the 'post' table, but I wasn't able to find it. A link to that would also be very helpful. Thanks.

Note: I looked for something like this in the counters page within the admin cp, but it only deletes orphan posts instead of using them to recreate the threads.

It's possible except for one critical detail (among others): you don't know the original forumid of the deleted threads to be able to recreate them.

I have need for this. Somehow about 100 of my threads were deleted/corrupted, but the original posts remain intact. How can I re-create the original thread table entries using the post table?
