Chatbox clearout

**Loki** · 12-03-2011, 04:54 PM

The chatbox has 1.2million messages in it - and is causing this site to run slowly. I have confirmed with the webhost.

Old chatbox messages are not really of any use, hardly comparable to forum posts. It is to be used for casual chatting.

I am going to clear out the entire chatbox archive tonight, but of course backups are available and I will make one before clearing out the messages.

Kidding, delete it. Who cares.

There was a lots of my name mention on chatbox archive and someone's gonna take my famous away? Nah, I'm not having that.

Well, new messages will still accumulate in the archive - and I'll clean it out about once every few months I think. That should be sufficient.

I just pretty much remedied my problem or nearly remedied it. I use Opera Browser and if you hit F12 you can turn on Opera Turbo which boosts surfing speed. With that enabled, I can browse here and use the chatbox. My browsing got so slow I actually couldn't connect at all anymore.
