I'm wondering if anyone can share some insight and possibly share some advice with me as well. I've been left my forum along for like 3-months due to being busy with school and other things, only to come back and see almost a quarter MILLION spam threads with thousands of spam accounts on my forum. I've try to prune the threads that gets between 1-3 views (most if not all are spam), however they the pruning just stops after like 100 threads or so. Then I tried another idea where I moved all the legit post to an another forum catergotey I created and deleted the old one but it won't delete. I'm guessing there's too many threads there and it just results in a timeout. So my question is how can i make it so that the pruning will continue til it's all gone? Is it something I need to contact my host about or what. And if anyone has the same issue please share some advice. I'm using vBulletin version 3 on it. Thanks in advance
