Well, there is a rep value stored in sql for each user, but the way it determines rep and rep power is pretty special.
Basically, I had to extract every single up-rep and down-rep that has happened in chronological order, and then redo each one on the new install, or else the values would be all screwed up and no one would have rep power (really stupid).
I didn't write the original rep script myself, it's a heavily modified plugin fo vbulletin that I just hacked away at until it kinda sorta worked for us.
