Here's what I think should be setup:

1) All members whom haven't posted since July 2002 should be removed from the database.

2) All members with no posts at all, and signed up before September 2002 should be removed from the database.

3) All threads that haven't been responded to since September 2002 should be removed, excluding stickys and news topics.

4) Auto-pruning should be setup for the Test Signature forum to 14 days. (This means after a post has not been replied to for 14 days, it will automatically be deleted from the database.)

5) Change the total of alloted PM's/saved PM's to something like 20/20. (Not sure if it's higher or lower.)

6) Reindex the database, then optimize it.

IMO, I think this would reduce alot of slowdown on the forums, and possibly prevent some of the crashes in the forums. Who knows, maybe we could even bring back the edit/delete button by doing this.
