Title: Gonna Drop Some Tables!

Me getting ready to Drop Some Tables!

Ummm... no, no, not those kinds of tables.  :08:

Data Base Tables. Our forum has data tables (files) in a database where all of the information is stored, like posts, pictures and any settings or information that we've added to the forum, pictures gallery, arcade, etc.

So the system creates back-up's of those tables and our database has now increased to over twice the size that it should be and it needs to be cleaned up. Later today I'll do that clean up and hopefully won't trash the site in the process.  :yikes:

Not to worry though, before starting the cleanup I'll make and download some external backup's just in case.

You should not see any interruptions in the site unless I break something.  :up2some:
