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.
