and
I am using the MSSQL version of the forum, version 9+ |

Wow, got us beat by a huge amount! What is your forum, and where hosted? Our stats - seems puny compared to you..... Our users have posted 226,313 Posts in 20,387 Topics in 38 Forum(s) We have 5,562 Forum Members Typically 100 users online, 100-130 is normal, 3/4 of those guests, about 30 registered members online is fairly typical. I'd have to look up the page views, etc. How much SQL space do you take? ------------- BillD http://theamcpages.com http://theamcforum.com |

I don't see much difference. On the contrary, you outnumber my forum in everything but the concurrent users.
5,788 users, but I am running a script that deletes members with 0 posts that have not logged-in for one year.
About 268MB

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? ------------- BillD http://theamcpages.com http://theamcforum.com |

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!

[/QUOTE] This is seems a little too drastic. I don't know the topic of your forum but why do you consider older posts trash? There is a lot on chit chat on my forum, it is more of a social thing than information. There are sections specifically for information, and those are not erased. |

Its about par for us for deleting users. But we no longer delete if they don't post, we delete if they haven't logged on for one year. Some posts get locked after no activity in 6 months and deleted after 1 year in SOME forum threads. We only delete those in rebuild section if a user leaves. So some forum sections never have posts locked or deleted, some others get purged.
