Plan to delete old posts

I will be "pruning" the forums in late February. This is an automated fuction that will delte all posts up through December 2008. Sticky posts will not be pruned. If there is a post or thread you want that is pre-2009, you need to save it.

Why: We have had some odd performance issues that last several months, so I would like to shrink the size of our database and see if it helps. Our fourms are the biggest piece of our database. This will also speed up my downoad of the quarterly site backup.

The forums have been pruned. All non-sticky posts prior to January 2010 have been deleted. Hopefully this will improve site stability.
