Delete old attachments

[Bamspeedy]

Hey everyone, I noticed that we now have the option to look at attachments we had uploaded (from either before we had the 'easy upload' feature, or from before you knew that it existed or how to use it).

I think it would be a good idea to look at them and delete any that are totally useless by now. I deleted a bunch of mine from 2002.

If everyone deleted some of theirs that they know are totally useless it would probably free up some server space wouldn't it? I like this new method, because the old way it would have been impossible I think to look through 3500 posts and try to find where I had included attachments.

I agree, it should make the forum run much faster. I'll delete some useless ones of mine soon...

yeah..like the Civ3 attachments we made back in the day..

I will post an announcement about this soon.

Those attachments pretty much were the only thing that made the upgrade process so difficult. Deleting the useless ones will help alot. I deleted 300 MB of old attachments so far.

Found some old ones of mine that I forgot I even had! Even saw some 300k gifs from when I didn't know that jpgs compressed images...

I have deleted the Majority of my files. I kept some files since they are located in the units forum .
