XF 2.1 deleted threads by mistake, how to restore?

If they were hard deleted, the only way to recover them is by restoring from a backup.

Any content made since the backup was taken will be lost.

Finger trouble cost us a page of threads...
I guess it might be a bad idea to restore just a few threads and their posts from a database dump? (Perhaps the xf_post and xf_thread tables aren't the only ones which would need to be repopulated...)
Edit: damn, I just remembered attachments... :( (and I'm sure they're not the only thing I had been forgetting)

No, it would be a horrible idea... there are a LOT of interactions that need to be updated in the DB for those posts...
If you have a VERY recent backup.. restore and lose all your recent stuff... otherwise, simply acknowledge that they are gone for good and use it as a learning lesson.
