Hello all,

I want to start tidying up the forum database in preparation for future migration so I have an ask of you all.

1. I want to keep no more than 3 years worth of historical posts - we currently have four and almost a million database entries for this. The Vault will contain indefinite historical posts/threads so can I suggest people identify any threads from 2008 that they feel we should keep and we'll move them to the Vault

2. Private messages - can you all look at your PMs and use the purge facility to remove any PMs that are no longer required - this will reduce the space taken up

Thanks !!

EDIT: FFF

A tip for deleting PM's, go to messages, then click on actions near the top left, then prune messages. You can then delete all messages older than X days, The default is set to 14 days.
 
I never bothered cleaning up my messages before. :-[
I had more than expected.
Gone now.
 
I've deleted some but kept my stash of Mr H PMs, and a few other keepsakes.
 
Now I feel like I have no mates as I only had aboout 6 PMs and they were from Bradley.

I have 1047 messages. I can see why a spring clean is needed.

Sunny - for the sake of maintaining quality on the forum I'll assume you mods are working on some way of storing and saving all of my posts.

Just let me now what you have in mind. Happy to help out mate.

I'm not sure either forum is a great idea to be honest Sunny. Let's face it; discussion about in-depth football knowledge, and general style are probably way beyond most of our members anyway.

The moment you realize that even on the internet, you're unpopular.

I'll delete my messages, all 4 pages of them.
