[QUOTE="Dimwhit, post: 1219498, member: 2576"] Does this message board ever get pruned? Both for posts and members? I was really bored at work (as usual) so I thought I'd check out the member list. There are 13,394 members. Of those, roughly 4000 have never made a post. Another 1700 or so have made 1 single post, and another 1000 or so have only made 2. I wonder how old some of these accounts are. I wonder if it would speed things up to delete old accounts. And not only that, but to delete threads and posts older than a certain age. I'm pretty sure you can go back to a post from 2 or 3 years ago, but I'm not sure. I'm thinking anything older than 6 to 12 months could probably be removed. Just some thoughts. I know it looks good to show so many registered users and posts, but I wonder if trimmng the database could help speed things up a bit. Though lately, things have seemed to improve a bit. I'm hungry. I want a cookie... [i]edit: in re-reading the title, I should point out that No, I don't have a constipation problem.[/i] [/QUOTE]
