As part of maintenance & as we are soon moving to a new server - I am intending to delete all posts more than 1 year old.

Any reasons not to do this?

Otherwise I will hit the delete button tomorrow (Wednesday)

Sounds reasonable to me Pete, another thought is deleting all accounts that haven't been touched for over a year. That should free up some space...

Niiiice.  lol  I say go for it.  It never hurts to level the ol' playing field once in a while.  We'll see how Andrew feels about suddenly only having 138 posts.  lol  Tongue

The worrying thing is that some round here won't have there post count affected at all. Andrew would still have about 4000 posts.


I say go for it. Some of us could make residents again.

Many of the Posts contain such literary gems as ..

"great photo's mate..."

"I wish I had been there"

or a whole series recently about Ozzie's sister in law.

We are not talking about burning libraries of historic treasure or the Dead Sea Scrolls....

Go for it Pete - create space, open up new vistas for enlightenment, room for the man in the aviation street to share his wisdom.

In my opinion, you are doing God's work.

Stay well, and may the force be with you...

Bazza err I don't have a sister-in-law, the person I speak of in less than pleasant terms is my sister. The most horrible twisted individual on the planet, oh and a chemistry teacher (proof of her evilness) Grin

Yeah i think you should Pete.
People with high post counts such as Andrew would still be the highest anyway. He only joined about 2 yrs ago, unless I'm wrong.
Free up space, save money, make it as cost efficient as possible. Who are the selfish prigs that are demanding otherwise I say? Would they like yr yearly bill? I wouldn't anyway.
Btw, since this was brought up last week, and is an 'old' topic, I don't think Andrew noticed it. Now I've brought it back up again he might. Grin
