Important info about the boards!!! Please read!

[glo]

We have had these board for close to 2 years now. For those of you who have been with us for a while you may remember when we couldn't keep more then 6 months worth of posts without having to cut them back.
The time has finally come when we do need to cut back on these boards. Our present database is over 2 Gigs in size with close to 3 million posts. It has become almost impossible to manage and back up.
I will probably do that this weekend. What I am considering at this point is leaving 15 months worth of posts on the trip planning boards, I like the idea of being able to go back and see what happend at "yearly" events and one years worth of posts on the "Just for fun" boards.
Those numbers are not written in stone and if anyone can come up with a strong reason to do it differently I will listen.
Those numbers apply to the "last post" on a thread not to the date the thread was originally started.
This pruning will affect total counts on all the boards. It may end up affecting post counts. If it does I apologize in advance but there's not really a lot we can do.

I hate having to do this!!!!

gotcha alex!!

 

[RitaZ.]

No problem!

 

[binny]

I understand

You need to do what is best for the board. Makes sense to me!

 

[debster812]

Alex,

It is what it is. If it helps to stabilize and helps you guys run the boards, that's all that matters.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for letting us know Glo (hey, that rhymed )

 

[WebmasterAlex]

I'm still bummed, I wanted to hit 3 million posts

 

[SplshMtn99]

Gee, just when I FINALLY hit 1000!

Oh, well. They are just posts.

Do what ya gotta do.

Thanks for the notice.

I have a question....on picture threads?? Does this mean, in fact, that in order to 'save' every picture post on the collection I've made in my link...that each and every one of them over a year old would require a 'bump' post??

 

[paras4ri]

Sounds reasonable and makes sense to me.

 

[WebmasterAlex]

Pretty much pandy... but what I have noticed is that a lot of the ones over a year old no longer have the pictures, just red x's so think of it as a chance to houseclean

 

[JohnTBap]

Alex, I appreciate all y'all do so that all of us freaks can continue to come together here. Thank you. {{{HUGS}}} (from me, not EROS )

 

[debster812]

Freaks???? I think we resemble that remark JTB

Alex, you don't think we can post 200,000 times between now and the weekend? For you, we could try and get to 3 mil

 

[Goofyposter]

I appreciate all y'all do so that all of us freaks

Groosch!!!....Alex!!!! JTB is speak'in fer herself thar!!!


all jok'in aside....of course we understand the end goal...even if us technoicle...challagened goofuses dernt understand ter means!

 

[CRB#33]

Sounds like it's necessary.

I can now hit 1,000 posts for the 4th or 5th time, LOL!

 

[DonnaS]

Do we get an award for having to hit 5000 posts three times. LOL

Your cut offs seem fine to me.

 

[Lucky4me]

That's fine with me! Even 12 or 13 months would be fine.

Planning info from that far back may not be current anyway.

I don't usually look at post counts, mine or anyone elses, so that's okay too!

Thanks!

 

[JohnTBap]

Well, my brother calls me a Disney Dork - is that better than freak?

 

[Zurg]

Prune away.

I think Lidlo puts it best when, towards the end of the film, she says, "Oh good my dog's got a chain saw."

 

[catsrule]

This time, we are hosed, Shep!

 

[catsrule]

Will this affect all the Simba pictures?
