I have a site running on DNN 3.2.2, the most used module is "forum", it has been a while the site is running and the size of DB is getting bigger and bigger, since I have limitation imposed by my web host so I am wondering if we have a way to remove the forum posts which are old, say about 6 months old.   Since the site targets latest stuff so removing old posts and replies would be fine.  Now my question is;

1) Is there any such option for DNN administrator or host to remove old postings to free up space ?

2) If not, how can we do it thru DB directly ? any hints…… I understand there will be whole lot of Foreign Keys here and there so removing entries directly from tables is not as safe unless you have idea of complete schema…..may be someone has made a script for such task.

Please advice.

Thanks a lot Crispy for the pointer, it certainly is very helpful.... Hope the forum module developers add this feature in future releases as it is more a generic kind of issue.
