chrismuzz Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 I didn't even know you could attach things on here I upload pictures and stuff to www.freewebs.com. it's actually for making websites with, but you can upload files there too! It has an option to shrink them down automatically as you upload them too which is handy Quote
Machines Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 Right thats 900MB cleared ! This equates to ~1000 attachments removed and a total clearance of 2.2%! It's all good work, a lot of people must have mucked in without posting . Quote

Linus27 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Just cleared 20MB, mostly pictures of Natalie Imbruglia and Yvonne Strahotski. I'm sure this is the wrong forum for me Quote
Linus27 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' post='1159895' date='Mar 12 2011, 09:36 PM']But you kept the Alonso ones. There was a guy called Sigmund he would have had a field day with that [/quote] HEHE nope all gone, zip, zero, nothing. Not a single file left Quote
timtoomany Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 PLEASE DON'T DELETE THE MODELS WEARING RICKENBACKERS!! Quote
bartelby Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Just halved the amount of MB for my attachments. Quote
Machines Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks chaps. 1.2GB cleared in total and 1300 files. Quote
bartelby Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Can you not just bulk delete attachments that are over a certain age? Quote
Machines Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 Yes, however some of those could be in long term 'image porn' threads or not be so large as to be contributing to the issue. Alas it is not possible to filter out old images that have not been accessed for x amount of time. Quote
charic Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Thats odd, I noticed that it has a number of views. I would have thought somewhere in the database it would have a date against when it was viewed as it is usual based on a sql count statement. Weird Quote
Machines Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 You're right, I can see the most viewed attachments but it doesn't give me dates. Quote
guybrush threepwood Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Just cleared off over 90mb... Sorry! Quote
faiz0802 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I think I've uploaded 1mb so far. But I will keep this in mind in the future. Keep up the wonderful work guys. Quote
ZMech Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 If this is an issue, why don't you put stickies in all the relevant sections about mp3/image hosting on external sites? Quote
Clarky72 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 All done! oops, just a bit of junk in my folders... Quote
arsenic Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 deleted nearly all mine - mainly old post from when I joined - I know it was only about 15 Mb, but every little helps. Quote
Clarky72 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 [quote name='Sibob' post='1162584' date='Mar 14 2011, 11:40 PM']Done, 50mb worth apparently Si[/quote] Bloody hell Pieman, what have you been keeping on here!?!?! Quote
Bottle Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Me too! Now lighter by at least 20Mb - couldn't believe I had uploaded that much. Gonna make my Gear thread a bit sparse, though Ian Quote
Machines Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Feel free to upload small versions of the files, super hi-res pics aren't really required but average sized ones (e.g. 800x600) should be fine and not use much space at all . We have now cleared 1900 files and 1.9GB of space, that's enough for now I think. For anything else i'll try and isolate old files over a certain size with very few views and clear these off, thanks for the assistance. Quote
