it does, however if you run software like IPB you can easily have some scheduled tasks to clean old posts, etc from the following ACP area:

System > System Scheduler

And have it setup to remove old posts from there.

A blank forum database is always going to run more quickly than one with lots of data in it. I don't like the idea of deleting peoples history so never purged my forums. I didn't run a overly big forum though so everything easily ran from low end hardware.

52,000 posts in 4,000 threads. vB 3.

    • It's not a hardware or software issue, it's a hardware limitation. Good grief... Dell playing the semantics game.
    • Perplexity starts testing its Comet AI browser on Windows by Usama Jawad AI is all the rage these days with Microsoft heavily pushing Copilot, Google investing its efforts in Gemini and Veo, Apple still figuring out Apple Intelligence, and OpenAI continuing to dominate the headlines. Now, another player in this space, Perplexity, has decided that it wants a bigger chunk of the market too. We already know that Perplexity is interested in the browser market. In May, it rolled out a version of its AI browser, Comet, exclusively to Mac customers running Apple Silicon. As expected, this piece of software features AI capabilities front and center, including the ability to engage in conversations with the AI model in natural language, surface emails that you haven't responded to, and a "Try on" feature that enables users to upload a picture of themselves and then see AI-generated images of themselves with different pieces of clothing, just to get an idea of how aesthetic they could look if they wear certain garments. Now, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas has posted on X (formerly Twitter) that testing for the Windows version of Comet has now begun: Now that the testing for Comet on Windows has begun with a handful of testers, it will be interesting to see when the browser will roll out generally to customers and what feature set will eventually become available for the masses. That said, it is important to note that AI browser is not a novel concept; Opera Neon was recently announced as the first "AI agentic" browser. On a side note, Perplexity has been in hot waters recently. It received backlash from people after it revealed plans to find out everything its customers do online so that it can present them hyper-personalized ads. UK news outlet BBC also threatened the firm with legal action over its content scraping practices. Via: Engagdet
    • probably because these will be a minority compared to our general tech coverage, plus these stories, their premises do seem quite interesting.
