Hello,
I also run a vbulletin community and my thread and user tables are gone, but my posts table is still there. How did you guys go about restoring your user table when it was wiped?

Take the tar backup extract the sql database and make sure you edit it so you are able to resture just the tables you need to restore.
CAUTION: when restoring just some tables of a database and changes have been made in other tables in relation to the tables you want to restore you could break your database even worse as before without it being visible in the start. Be VERY careful in doing so a lot of knowledge about the database and its tables is necessary to do this properly.
I would advise not to take the risk and just restore the complete database, or find an expert on vbulletin datbase structure to help you out.
