Title: Site maintenance!
Post by Shannon on Jan 12^th, 2007, 11:35am

Have you noticed the board seems a little slow lately? Well it's partly due to the fact that we can't upgrade to the newer versions and it's partly due to the fact that we have a HUGE database with over a thousand members. So I will be cleaning out some of the old, old threads.

What I need you to do is clean out your PM boxes. If you could clean them out and save only what's absolutely necessary that would be great. I try to keep my saved messages around 10. All this helps keep load times down. If we all do our part it will help to speed things up around here. �

I'd love to be able to upgrade the board but until MFC decides to answer my emails my hands are tied. >:( So we'll just do what we can for now.

Thanks!!!!

Yeah, the redo! Delete your 83 messages! Jeeze! You're slowing the board down. :P

Are you gonna delete all old threads or just the pointless ones? Cuz I know there's some good information in some of the older ones.

Yeah... and you better clean out your sent box... jerk.

I was at a nice 15 yesterday. And now I have 28. Everyone needs to stop talking to me...

Shannon's just too polite to tell us that the "Name Change" thread is bogging the board down. :(

No. What Shannon is saying is that we need to remove everything else so that the Name Change thread will be able to thrive.

Oh! I got it now. Thanks. ;)

Actually, there are some reeeeally old threads on here.

Yeah...very old threads from way back in early 2004. Alot of them I've already deleted were in relation to the old Goo chats and how to get in the chat room. Alot of repetetive stuff. I promise not to delete anything that seems relevant or useful to us now.

Thanks everyone for cleaning out your PM boxes! :thumbsup:

I'm doing a little restructuring here on the WOG. I've deleted the Recommendations Forum since no one ever goes there. But I added an Archived Concert Review Forum. Adela and I are gradually weeding all the old threads and I'll be moving old concert reviews into the new forum.

Silly me for never even looking in my outbox....I just opened it, and found that there were messages in there from 2003. :-[ Ooops! All empty now though....
