In trying to add help text to the Forums, I accidentally deleted all of the forums. However, since apparently Drupal 7 is idiot-proof, none of the posts were deleted. Now that I've recreated the forums, I just have to go back through and add all the posts back into their forums. This may take me a while, so if you're wondering where your query went, that's where.
