The problem here was that we don't have a forum anymore, just the data (which was corrupted and repaired).

Our hosting company's server crashed, our data was corrupted (second time in a month), he said it was the fault of the script and not his responsibility to fix it and gave us 24 hours to get the data backup before he would shut down our site. We couldn't get the database backups because of some permissions problems with mysql, so eventually he relented and emailed us a backup of the database, still corrupted.

We had the database repaired, but it wouldn't restore to the latest version. Eventually we paid a programmer and he managed to get it up on 2.5.3rc1, but now the smileys and font stylings aren't working, and new members can't register, and parts of some old posts are showing up under member names that didn't make them.

There has to be an easier way than this.
