Basically it was too much stuff that shut down the board.

On a Shared VPS and they just took it down without warning me. Giving me access right now to take out some threads, etc.

Is it possible to do selective deletes like delete all threads that have no responses, or older threads that have less than X responses? That way you wouldn't lose any legendary threads.

This would make a lot of sense. Any less than 10 replies wouldn't be much of a loss anyway and would probably free up a lot of room.

Whatever you do, don't delete the gem that is the Abattacola section!

_________________

There's a lot of threads that have little or nothing in them. A lot of redundant threads. Tons o' stuff to go! Politics could get the axe for a couple of years, until the next election. Any threads worth saving from that section could be moved to the dbag section.

Might as well delete this thread too.

_________________

Another idea to save space. Delete any post that has an attachment with it. Why are people posting attachments anyway? Just have a URL directing to where you want the person to go, or use the IMG button.

Delete any thread with an ALL CAPS title

That is really going to put a dent in Panther's post count.

What about deleting all of the posters with zero posts? That has to free up some space.

I think he was being facetious.

I hope so.

I thought that was fairly obvious, particularly to the folks that have met me irl.

(Kid's not part Flip, is he?)

Sorry Tiny. I should've known better, I guess.

I see the Matt Abbatacola folder is gone. Fare thee well.

I think its safe to get rid of the NHL threads at this point.

As well as the Scott Van Peezy section. RPB must have lost a ton of posts with all of the Wu-Tang lyrics.

To be honest, a lot of old sports threads could go, too, as well as old TV threads on shows/movies nobody watches.

Colonel Angus' post count plummets...

And I was approaching 500

You could delete all my anti Obama/racist/Islamic hating posts. I would then have around what 25-30 posts?
