It would not pass the U.S. usability for handicapped folks standards. Color blind folks I've asked do have issues with it. Interesting being photography, but apparently their content popularity outweighs the ease on eyes needs of handicap or visually impaired people. People who probably aren't their target audience.
I'm totally amazed at the stats I'm seeing here - we've blown the top off our SQL database size two times now, and don't have nearly the posts and members of others. Wonder why our data takes so much more space, but we don't have as much of it? Are our posts BIGGER?

Sounds like your posters are writing their theses?

The forums with the larger amounts of posts have much larger databases than your own forums database, for example dxyum database is approaching 1GB in size and speakerplans is around 600MB in size.

This is seems a little too drastic. I don't know the topic of your forum but why do you consider older posts trash?

We depend on historical info - folks come to search for information instead of asking the same question every week, we point them to threads that already have answered their questions. It's a reference/tech site as much as anything. When someone posts correct restoration data for a 1965 whatever, don't dare delete it!
