I've deleted the 1st year of threads on this forum. Mainly FS2002 has been trimmed with the post count being about halved in that forum.
Hopefully no bad side to this. Part of keeping things trim & useable.
Now I am hoping users will be able to register during peak times - which they haven't been able to do lately.
If not may have to trim a little more off the bottom ...

It's not the disc space - it's the weight of the forums & how the scripts can handle the number of posts -
Yabb simply doesn't perform well over about 400K posts & it's an ongoing thing to make things work OK.

Isn't there some way you can save the parts of the forum less visited like the FS98 board to a seperate website and link to it to take some of the weight off this forum? Perhaps also its time for a picture delete of anything upto as recent as 3 to 6 months old. ???

Could shave the screenshot and photo forums a bit. If i'm not mistaken all pictures were deleted from a year back. All those now empty threads are still hanging around without any shots in them

Can't be done. It's all or nothing. Individual boards can't be individually cropped.
If they could I would keep the graphics section at 30 days all the time.

Pete, Why not just delete all the threads more than 18 months old? Ok the occasional person searches for the answer they want, otherwise they just ask anyway. So I really cant see much harm in a significant removal.

Because a lot of the tutorials - particularly design - go back further.
One design tutorial is worth 1000 ordinary threads.

We could save all the best ones surely? Or at least the information in them. Maybe that's too complicated.

deploy some volunteer units to look in past times for special thread and tutorials, and mark them to be stickied. everything older than X time can go.
i'd be willing, whaddya guys think, help out the V.

If it's possible Pete, make a thread and we can search out the must keeps for you and copy and paste the links in that thread.

not only that, yes it will take up time, but it should certainly put us under the golden 250K posts.

next idea, you do have a lot of locked posts, either moved, or locked due to a rule breach. we're not replying to those anytime soon. espically the "what are you listening to" series. that would take a chunk out. at least 2500 posts right there.
