Guys,

We've been doing as any well run forum do, and cleaning any redundant user accounts. ONLY accounts that haven't been accessed in over 2 years are removed, so far I've removed over 1200 redundant member accounts - this reduces the database size and as a consequence speeds up the forums. In every case, each account had a post count of 0 - a sign that they registered on a whim and haven't reused their account since.

This does however provide even more room for us to expand, so spread the word and leaflet drop/mention ClubCalibra.com to any Calibra's your see!!

Cheers, Ash & Moderation Team

Reminds me of a screen saver I once saw of Bill Gates singing 'When I'm cleaning Windows'...

Lol Nice one Ash, I personally have not noticed any speed issues until tonight, where the server frequently times out, but I assume that's because you're working!

Never understood that. Why register if you're not gonna post lol. You're just wasting you're own time for nuthin.

are not some forums hidden, aka show 0 posts till you register, i know i have registered on some forums just to seem the sales section but never posted

ClubCalibra · « **Reply #11 on:** March 04, 2008, 00:02:08 AM »

Nope, nothing hidden once you're registered, other than the 'Senior Lounge' where us old gits sit and gossip about the Newbies, hehe.

I'll never understand why peeps register and then do nowt, unless its because they just want to search for a solution, find it, and never use the site again!

Dec · « **Reply #12 on:** March 04, 2008, 00:03:32 AM »

are not the classified hidden then till you register

Dutch Calibra · « **Reply #13 on:** March 04, 2008, 00:05:08 AM »

Issue at hand Ash, are you causing the downtime now and then?!

Dec · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2008, 00:06:27 AM »

right so now you have gained more room does that mean you can increase the file sizes that we can add now??

Dec · « **Reply #16 on:** March 04, 2008, 00:11:12 AM »

there fine as is, why need bigger

carl · « **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2008, 00:24:40 AM »

why man why......because my camera has 7.2 mega pixals and every time i want to put pics up i have to resize them all 1 by 1

Dutch Calibra · « **Reply #18 on:** March 04, 2008, 00:32:50 AM »

lol!!!!!!

Tell you what matey, upload your images here >

photobucket.com

User: clubcalibra
pass: calibra

then once you've done that, you can select multiple files and choose to resize them, usually "forum" setting works.

If you post a 7.2mp image on here, it's going to be huge
