Just deleted ~ 400. There goes my proof if anyone tries to weasel out of a NAP!

I'd better keep a close eye on the stuff Kristoffer has sent me so I don't lose crucial information due to a mistaken deletion.

So why don't you delete those old threads on the forum that have been hanging around since... if you have a database problem or did you plan to do it anyway?

many old threads could be very interesting IHMO for new players (like me) if they take the time to go searching them around (as I do), as they explain mechanics and other nice thingies ^_^

damn, I got only 2 messages

it's sad to be so useless ^_^

We're not going to prune the post database, that contains useful information for everyone to use and research. I would think it's kind of selfish to say "I want to keep all my PMs from the beginning of time, so take content away from all users instead".

And frankly the post database takes much less time to import than PMs because of the way those relational tables are done. At nearly 100,000 PMs it was taking 4-5 hours. All of the rest of the datbases (users, posts, forums, etc) take less in total than what the PMs database was taking.

OK. I deleted 800.

Down to 25 of each now.

Poor 900 PMs

Purely coincidentially, I just finished a MP game, and deleted all the related messages yesterday, so I'm a good boy today. Only have ~40 messages left now.

Might have been over 200 yesterday...
