kinetix63 Veteran Posted January 10, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 10, 2010 700+ messages gone.... *shame* lol Thank you to everybody who's helping us out with this. The less PM's we have to process, the shorter Neowin will be off-line whenever the upgrade finally hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted January 10, 2010 Author Developer Share Posted January 10, 2010 Thank you to everybody who's helping us out with this. The less PM's we have to process, the shorter Neowin will be off-line whenever the upgrade finally hits. Indeed, a test migration took about 10 hours, mostly on the PM's, and we now have half as many PMs in the system than we did at that point in time, so the migration time should now be around 5 hours (the maintenance will be longer however, as there are other things we need to do at the same time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybertimber2008 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Might be worth the time and effort to do a database query to see who the top say, 500 users pm count and pm/email pointing them this way. Though I am surprised to hear that it's at half the number of PMs as before looking at the views the topic has seen. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing. The top 'offenders' are staffers, so I've moaned at them already. On top of the efforts of you folks, I wiped the inboxes of banned members (they can't read PMs, so why have them?) and a few others along those lines.

AlfredSka Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) It would be interesting to hear about the size percentage that the message database shrunk due to members cleaning house, before performing the conversion. Edit: I now see that some stats have been posted (gotta read through the thread before posting requests like this).
