just to clarify : only posts with NO reply since the 1st of May 2004 will be deleted. No other one will be !
So no panic, please

This only concerns the last 500 pages of Gen Dis forum, no other !
This is not a size prob, this is an index prob. Those old posts are not indexed correctly in the DB, and they cause the site to slowdown each time someone visits one, or the lasts pages of Gen Dis.
