Offered and Wanted sections purged
I have deleted all threads in these four sections that are over 90 days old.
Most attachments are stored as two files, the original (or resized) file and a thumbnail file. By purging those sections (which tend to have quite a lot of photos) down to 90 days it has removed nearly 65,000 files which, at the current rate of increase, is at least a year and a half. Adding some other tweaks by the hosting company, we should be good for around 3 years before it becomes an issue again. I will however purge those four sections periodically, as there shouldn't be anything of long term use in them. I didn't run the option to update post counts so hopefully your post counts aren't affected by this. |

Re: Offered and Wanted sections purged
I should have said that if anyone did have a thread in those sections that was still an open offer or request but was over 90 days old and is now deleted, please post it again.
