Just a thought, but is it worth say pruning a load of old dead threads ? for example in the rideout section there are a million thread with just "this sunday" which could mean anything from last week to 2 years ago. i guess i am saying do we need those old long dead threads ? perhaps a 3 month prune age ? being the caring kinda guy i am i am just thinking of the DB long term - less to backup, less to restore. win win.
